This has forced me to try and source off market deals for my clients I have convinced a few apartment owners to sell but they only want to sell conditional on 1031 exchanging into a new multifamily.

I am currently helping a client perform this strategy with a triplex.

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

I am an agent and I have a client looking to purchase an existing RCFE.  

Second, that's a very respectable goal, and my organization has multiple clients living abroad while investing in U.S. real estate.

I had a client recently buy a 2 unit in Albany Park + unzoned attic and then were able to legalize the attic on zoning doc from an old water bill ended up being a huge value add likely over six figures added now being a legal 3 unit. 

I do these for investor clients regularly to fix and flip or fix and hold to lease.

He was helping a client doing the books, but also manage some property, in this case a commercial one.

I just submitted an offer for a client here in MA. 

Even then there are controllable and non-controllable expenses and cam caps that can be cumulative or non-cumulative in nature.It works the same way for my clients when we look at a retail center to buy.
