Reverse exchanges may be possible for experienced well capitalized investors but for most, I would say it’s not really a practical option.Mike’s suggestions of being prepared and proactive is a good one.I encourage 1031 investors to start looking ASAP - get to know the market - identify potential buys - and start making offers - before one has sold their existing property.The issue becomes will a seller especially in a strong market accept your offer “contingent upon the sale of your property”?

We're great at finding deceased owners, and working with the Heirs to name a Personal Rep, and ultimately buying their property. 

Experienced developers are vertically integrated and don't need new friends or want to do mentorships. tie a site up, record videos, establish yourself as someone they need to do through marketing. if you want to really do that it's what you need to do.

It's great to have experienced folks join the site!

I personally have never bought any of Ron Legrand's courses nor attended any of his boot camps.

If you turned down anyone else before or after this person because they don’t make 3x you could be found guilty. 

As long as it will pass an appraisal and not be "Subject to" major issues you can get a renovation or personal loan for work.Unless you are cash fluid and can add some cash back into the property and then pull back out on the ARV refinance.

For me personally, I've been in the niche since 2007.

I'm personally not a fan of no cash flow.  

Seems like finding out if the person hiring them has the right to sell a property should be step 1?
