@Bob E. 

I appreciate that @Bob E., Thank you for the information.  

I am now getting one to two of these a day.. since I am on no other social media except BPI know this is coming from these folks trolling BP I am going to remove my e mail"Hello,I currently have investors who are looking to invest into ventures that can give a minimum of 4.5% ROI for a period of 5-10 years with 18 months grace period and No Early repayment penalties.

A full package will consist of borrower's financials and proof of funds from the buyer with a fully executed purchase and sale agreement.

I follow stocks pretty closely (we are on an investing site..) and AppFolio is a publicly traded company as of last year.

I'm a newbie from Chicago looking to start out in real estate investing.I'm a lawyer by trade, but I think it would be wise to branch out into real estate investing to diversify my retirement portfolio and to have a bit of extra income each month.

The same day they moved out, my property manager e-mailed me pictures of the now-vacant property, and said the bid for any "Make-Ready" items (paint, cleaning, yard, etc), would be coming soon.  

If so, you have "inventory that is available for sale to the public" and not "property held for investment in a trade or business" as required by Section 1031.Michael Lantrip. 

@Matt Morgan:It seems to me the hedge funds are executing a calculated investment strategy.

We are also very clear that we will not negotiate against ourselves - if we do not receive a counter offer or material information indicating our valuation may be in error, do not ask us to change our offer.This agent had contacted me several times via e-mail, despite our indicating that we were comfortable with our offer, and asked that we submit our best offer ... so I did.
