I just did some research on the National REI Summit in OH and our local REI monthly meetings!

Tried calling the local CPA's that are "experts" at 1031s, but they aren't responding because it's busy tax season...I'll dig in deeper with tax people if it's a possibility, but wanted to throw it out there to this community first.Any insights are much appreciated!

You can also find a local investors group and network with DIY landlords.

I've got team members in Tampa if you need local support. 

Looking to connect with local realtor in this area and learn about the market.

Yes, we are a local company based out of Greenville.

I am sure this will ultimately be "ask your local appraiser" but I wanted to get thoughts here if you think this would count as a 1 bedroom.

Local amenities abound and the property is serviced by a newly refurbished power cord connecting it to the ceiling.

Some mortgage lenders and local regulations may require you to have landlord insurance once you convert your property into a full rental.

Your best bet is to find your local REIA chapter and join.
