But since I'm doing investments for investments I can use a 1031 to shelter them from taxes.

I 1031'ed that property into a house in the Dallas, TX area.While there are benefits in having property close by, I can't get the numbers to work locally either.

I would suggest making some business cards so that when you meet people that may be potential partners or just a contact that you'd like to network with, you can exchange business cards.

I would love to exchange ideas, strategies, and networks with you guys (except I'm afraid the latter is still not very large at all)!

I have no money to contribute at the moment, but I could definitely work my hungry little butt off for someone in exchange for education for my improvement.From what I just glanced at, there isn't much rent info I can find for Calhoun, but for the city over in the same county, SFH seem to be in the lower 100k's (anywhere from 110k to 160k) and 3b/2 are renting for around 1100/1300.

But as for the no money down, it happens all the time with 1031 exchange money.

With your portfolio you can easily roll some of them through 1031 into multifamilys and test it out.

When caps compress 1% more in my area, I'm selling and exchanging to a new market entirely.  

The roommate wants to stay but claims that he paid the majority of the bills in exchange for the Security Deposit paid by the roommate who moved out.  

I dont want them exchanging contact info and me get excluded?
