If you're still not having luck sourcing a wholesaler, your next best bet is to network and connect with an investor-focused real estate agent.

Quote from @Antoine Black: I have a house that free and clear and I'm trying to tap in the equity can any one help  Hey Antoine, As Mike stated, your best bet is a local credit union.

It is a complimentary strategy to pull some of your money back out and hedge your bet.

Have you sold your property you're going to exchange? 

Your best bet is to find and contact all of the top local wholesalers and go to work for one of them and see what they do right and wrong and see if it's even a business you like.

Down the road, you can also use the 1031 exchange to defer taxes as you go from property to property, as long as they are like for like.I hope that helps get the ideas flowing....

However, it's a safe bet that these respective areas will continue to appreciate steadily for the reasons noted.

Now they are charging $395 per 1031 exchange!

If you have never completed a regular 1031 exchange I can not recommend a reverse 1031 exchange.

Haha I bet there's been some crazy stuff out there but the one's I'll put up will definitely of better quality and insulated.
