I have an interest in getting involved with real estate investing in the near future, specifically rental properties.

Have any specific banks, lenders or brokers to refer?

Demand is market-specific... and even sub-market specific.

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask away otherwise it's best to just start reading the resources already available since they are put together but many of the experts on these forums. 

I'm considering relocating in the near future strictly for the purpose of investing/building a portfolio of rental properties.I'm specifically interested in using the BRRRR strategy on residential 2-4 unit properties and 5+ unit commercial deals.I'm looking for assets in desirable C+/B- or better areas so no section 8, high crime or low income type of neighborhoods.Rents must meet the 1% rule and I'd like to cash flow $200/door after refinancing once the property is rented/stabilized.I'm trying to find a market where deals are more readily available than here in South Florida where it's very competitive.If you were gonna pack up and move somewhere strictly to invest in rehab/value-add multifamily where would you go?

Property you purchased specifically to resell does not qualify for 1031 but I hear you waffling between two strategies. 

Specifically, off street parking.

I’m looking for some specific advice on structuring a small (<$250k) private real estate fund.

I don't know the answer to your specific question, but I have one word of caution.  

Specifically, if the title to a property is in my name and I deed it to an LLC (setup as a partnership) that is wholly owned by myself, does it trigger a taxable event?
