This group is (on average) grossly underfunded for long term care needs so I'm betting these homes will have a lot of deferred maintenance as the owner's retirement dollars are siphoned off to medical and paramedical services. 

Hello All, I am pretty much completely new to the 1031 field, but am asking this to get some ideas for a landlord that is looking to sell of 7 duplexes but is concerned over his potential tax liability.

Lots of new homes sitting around too.They do have pretty good job growth, especially in the medical field, because it is a very unhealthy society there.

Many newbies leverage themselves to the hilt, underestimate rehab costs, find out it can take much longer to rent out in some areas than they thought, and can be totally caught off guard by some of the many complexities that can crop up (whoops, not a legal duplex, was a meth house previously, has code violations, mold, lead problems, new tenants trashed the place, etc. etc.)Two reasons constantly given for business failure is lack of experience in the field and lack of enough money.

I had some erroneous info in one of the fields.

Pre-condition of the deal is to include empty 25,000 sq ft medical commercial building in medical complex.

I have worked hard to be an expert in my field and have built a team to be the "boots on the ground" for all of my investors. 

You have a property manager and you are fielding calls from a tenant?

The issue with most physician loans is that they are for primary residence only, not investment properties.My question/discussion is, are there any other medical field providers or those with massive debt to income ratios who have been successful with securing funding for out of state investing? 

I have a potential lead for a home located a block from Bossen field in South Minneapolis.
