I bet you can do it.

Next, your best bet on a SFR package is with a local bank as opposed to one of the larger national ones.

I think selling and using the 1031 process to leapfrog into a few solid SFR rentals would be your best bet.

If you do, it is because there are lawyers involved and they do their own title insurance underwriting.

Anyone have a good run down on what's involved to do it above board?

If you want to get involved with rentals, house hacking is a great way to start. 

@James Holmes Welcome to BP and congrats on getting your start in RE even if it involved a purchase that maybe was not an ideal move, it is still getting in and starting.

I currently do not have a circle of friends who are interested in or currently involved in real estate.
