Again, buyers would have to be willing to participate in the 1031 exchange whether traditional or reverse. 1031 exchanges involving multiple relinquished or replacement properties are always more challenging from what I've been told by the QI and the 1031 specialist attorney I have used.And if a traditional exchange, then QI does not take title so lender participation is easier.

I have already signed up to attend next months meeting at the local REIA and I plan on becoming a member and a regular face there.

Retrofitting is challenging because it's hard to address both types of sound.Sound is sneaky.

Welcome JoesphI am also an engineer, (retired) in Baltimore MD.I invest in rental property and tax liens.The legal aspects of rentals in MD make it a challenging state.Wayne

I imagine that I can pretty much get a vibe about an older, established subdivision, but if I wanted to buy new or recently-built, let's face it, many of the big builders don't put out a great product and sometimes don't stand behind their work.

I also own a condo in Providence that is now generating some nice cash flow for me.Any experienced flippers out there willing to cue me into some of the biggest challenges I will face will be greatly appreciated!

Every aspect gives a different set of challenges and puzzles to solve.Enjoy!

@Matthew Elmer I wanna say BPO man, but if I'm off sorry, I definitely see a lot of faces.  

Marc, definitely hadn't considered partnering financially on the first deal and splitting profits (hopefully) with a seasoned pro, great idea to gain some hands-on experience with someone else helping along the way.Joel, would love to hear more about your challenges/successes with your quads in Roswell sometime, thanks for the advice.
