All, I am not sure if this is the right forum for this and apologize if it is not.

I went searching for this topic in the forums but have not had much luck...When purchasing the replacement property via a 1031, is it possible to use some of the excess funds within the 1031 to perform repairs on the new property?

If you hang out in the forums long enough you'll start to know who the bigger players in the space are.

I have been reading forum posts, but am hoping to go a little bit deeper!

While you’ll certainly gain some knowledge, most are not worth the cost.Set aside 3 or 4 days and spend hours listening to the BP podcasts, interacting on the forums, and reading real estate books.

I'm not sure what else I can say here without breaking the BiggerPockets rules for forum posting.

Sometimes as I read the forums I find myself getting a little lost in not knowing the lingo in finances, laws, etc.

I’ve been getting mixed signals from different forums to steer clear of Baltimore and others are praising it.

I’ve already gained a lot information just from reading the forums.
