I am not sure if a 1031 is going to be part of the equation or not since we are looking to purchase something at a lower price point than what we sell for (not clear on that, but I'll probably post separately in the 1031 forum for that topic). 

@Gearold White I'd love to connect man as I'm pretty confused by your post.

These two are rarely mentioned in the overview posts I have seen. 

Keep us posted on what happened.

Greater Cincinnati normally has a couple a day posted, they go fast, you just have to be faster. 

I know this is an old post,  but interesting in talking to you if you are.

Posted the deal back in 2011 on Biggerpockets before I bought it.

There are plenty of people who have been able to start a career with nothing more than drive and a dream so I'll let them post how they did it however I'd wager that they are the minority and the hard situation is this is a cash intensive business. 

@Donnie Tuckerfair enough, but think about posting on BP asking for advice because "my contractor stopped responding."
