We have gone out to look at the property, reviewed the financials back to 2016 and met with the seller in person a couple different times.

I asked a similar question a couple weeks ago and learned of meetups in Glastonbury, Manchester, Wallingford, Norwalk, and Fairfield:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/550/topics/59...So far I've been to both the GBury and Wallingford ones, both were awesome.

I've been tracking a couple other discussions on BP where there's some heated debate on whether capex is above or below the line so not trying to re-hash that here haha@Ned Carey Very true.

@Dick Stevens I purchased a 29 unit apartment community and the former owner had rent payments due throughout the month...crazy administration.  3rd party management spent the first couple of months getting all residents on the same due date.

A couple of questions come to mind:4BR, 2BA Brick ranch property sits on more than 1/2 acre in growing city with strong economy and rapid home appreciation last 4 years, 1960s construction with original everything, lead paint included free of charge!

And if you're looking at doing a 1031 now and buying that property and renting it for a couple of years you will be absolutely fine.There is even a safe harbor from the IRS for just such a conversion with a 2 year holding period. 

This is sure to happen.What is needed is a quality white label service at a decent price point that is coupled with lead generation and legal support. 

FYI: Just listen to some of the BP podcasts and hear the stories of people who got to 18, 20 or 25 properties within a couple of years and you'll see that it's not unobtainable.Best of luck

I have purchased and renovated a couple homes and have done well (with more luck and timing than skill).  

Wanted to see if anyone could give me some lender/private money recommendations for build to suit ground up development for a couple national fast food/QSR retailers in the Seattle metro area.
