One of my properties is a block away from this massive development.

Ive done a dozen 1031's and it can be a pain when you dont find something but it better to pay taxes then to make a bad buy. 

There is no guarantee the syndicators, project, location or interest rates will go in your favor.I feel the pain right now with those that went with Commercial Real Estate, especially with projects in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, LA, Chicago etc.

And all the Yardi Youtube tutorials have been blocked for the public. 

If it says "Lot X" of Block...." then it's a single lot.

This has been a huge pain for me.

@Brandon Beale,I feel your pain, but y'know what?

they are worse now than when I did one 20 years ago.  203Ks are a pain in the @$$ (take a long time to close, restrictive red tape, sellers generally hate them), BUT one thing to keep in mind is that its not a bad way for someone without renovation experience to start.  

Here in Myrtle Beach short-term (Vacation) rentals are generally allowed along the oceanfront and a few blocks in.

If the downspout drains are blocked, water will sit.
