Assuming it's bet to make sure that funds for REI don't co-mingle with private funds from the get go, but I also feel it's a bit early to be running out to get business accounts.  

@Justin Polston You bet man, I appreciate it!

Some of these have hard money lenders you can talk with to gather more information.I would be happy to post the events here, if they coincide within your time here.I bet by adding "looking for financing in Phoenix" to your post headline, you could get quite a bit of feedback.Wishing you great success!

Your best bet is to reach out to a local appraiser and get their opinion on the property.

They have to connect to an internet connection but you can easily solve that by setting up Wi-Fi in the house or using a cell phone hotspot.

You can hedge your bets by taking out mortgages on a few of the properties.

@Bill Brandt, If I was only 250 years older I bet I could have got that included in the Declaration of Independence :)@Colby Shelhorse, The actual mechanism of the 1031 is that the adjusted basis of the old property is transferred to the new property by filing the form 8824 with your tax return after a 1031. 

Your best bet is to have someone take a look for you or to take a look yourself.

@Tom Donnelly I do indeed have a cabin with no internet, and it is my highest performer. 

I think Joe Fairless' Best Ever Conference (coming up in late February) is your best bet.
