Moving on...There are a few strategies at play here:Using a standard, forward 1031 exchange.Buying properties that need work (BRRR with or without the refi, utilized to achieve a higher return).Partnering with someone who can get a loan when you can't (to bring deals into grasp that were previously out of grasp).The question is, can we combine the 3?

On the wholesaling end, try to do a search on the forums using some combination of the following terms "transfer tax" & "Pennsylvania" & "wholesaling". 

We have a great investor friendly brokerage that allows for some unique service!  

Then take that money elsewhere and buy one-two homes that will get you more in rent per month combined (and you won't owe anything).

Is the property on a main commercial corridor or are there any other unique things about it that would make it more attractive than a duplex/triplex a block away?

Do not try anything unique when you first start.  

Allows you to keep a master key that works on every door while also having unique keys for each tenant.

Basically, that combined with cash from my parents is what financed the buy and I've taken a  'loan' from them on 25% for my ownership in it.

@Matthew Hamilton  Property Management combined with Real Estate Sales is a great way to work in residential real estate.  

Combination of 1 & 3.I wouldn't sell all my 5 caps if I bought them correctly.
