I have contacts with a couple of bigger investors in my area that I would like to get in touch with, but I fear I have little to offer for their time.

That being said, would love to connect and put you in touch with them and offer help where I can!

@Gabriel Zepeda I am not a mortgage broker and am not in touch with current programs. 

Hello,Trying to source deals, I've been reaching out to many RE pros in my market (Spain) and came to be in touch with a family office that offered to sell me, among other overpriced assets, the whole fifth floor - subdivided in 2 apt - of a building they're renovating in the city center. 

As long as I do the 1031 properly (intermediary and all) and don't touch the sale proceeds, nothing changes from the interest tracing perspective? 

I can put you in touch with him! 

I believe everyone expects rates to drop a bit but still will not touch those levels.

I would think I could just start using a normal checking/savings account and no longer touch the credit available in the HELOC (and hence not have to pay interest on monthly expenses).

Are there any strategies or books that touch on this?  

I will be keeping in touch with all real estate investors to gain all perspectives.
