Ex: Wells Fargo.Obviously, banks are not in the habit of buying properties so you know that 99.9% of the time, a deed to the bank will be the final stage of a foreclosure, thus making that house an REO.2) Now you realize that there is usually a 2-3 month window of time where the subject property you have chosen from your list of deeds is in limbo with the bank.  

I like the concept of real estate being able to control a tangible asset that can have multiple sources of profit where as stocks is slightly above gambling. 

So lenders will frequently lie and say that "you can't do xyz" when in reality they should be saying "I and my firm specifically that I've chosen to work for will not do xyz."

As for the relatively small gamble for the cost of engineer's report and the wait time, that is what I'm really trying to decide rather it is worth it or not.

It's not because the market is any better or worse, it's just driven by the people that they have chosen to work with there.My business coach always says, "the best date is the first date".

My financial goal is to become ultra wealthy, so there will be much more that just real estate that I dive into, but this is where i've chosen to start.

Nor does the mortgage company want to gamble on whether or not the borrower will have sufficient funds to pay when do.  

The deadlines to complete your Build-To-Suit Exchange are the same as a Forward 1031 Exchange or a Reverse 1031 Exchange transaction, depending on which structure you have chosen to combine with your Build-To-Suit Exchange.

@Travis L.I know you already made your decision (and I probably would have chosen 30, too) but the advice given was based on a big missing piece.

You could gamble that all your properties will sell within that first 180 days and go ahead an just name your large MF property as your replacement.
