We would prefer to keep these properties as they have excellent cash flow.Some have suggested to take out a loan, however this is troubling to me as we dont need the $$. 1031 exchange is an option, but finding another property is a problem.Does anyone know a good attorney/tax advisor in PA that has experience with large real estate holdings?

I prefer the 30 day TAW.

I have also served on a local Historic Preservation Commission (the renovation taste "police" as some unhappy campers refer to it).

Retail also has its own characteristics and needs to be reinvented every decade or so to remain rentable and competitive.Industrial too is unique and has its own strengths (easier to manage) and cons (longer vacancies).Each type of commercial is going to require a different style and application of management.You should have a light understanding of the type of CRE you would like to own as you head into the market looking for deals.Personally, I prefer industrial because it's an easier asset to manage and I have a lifetime of experience working in this asset class.That said, and as mentioned earlier, if you head into the marketplace searching for a value add situation then you might want to keep your mind open to various types of commercial property.

I would prefer to buy the $150k as the downpayment is less.

Say its 5-10% annual rate of return, backwards engineer the equity split or preferred rate of return.

I prefer tax defaults since I've personally found NODs and NTS are bombarded with other competition.

Anyone in the Orlando, Florida area (preferably Clermont area) interested in partnering up and starting a Bigger Pockets Networking Meetup group?...

Preferably the URL would be converted to a TinyURL that can fit into a small space (Tweet or Text).Thanks!

Prefer someone in St.
