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? 

I'm looking to absorb as much information as I can on real estate, specifically multi-family home rentals. 

Our MLS syndicates with about every online site--sometimes I'll list a property, and within 10 seconds of the final 'enter' button hit, I'll get an email from Zillow.Social media, IMO is more for self-promotion rather than promoting a specific listing.Lastly, if the property is priced right, you won't have to worry about marketing it for long.

Forgive me for holding some specific details back as I hold this idea close to me. 

Regarding short sales specifically, not sure where you’re getting your information about it being harder to obtain a waiver of deficiency lately.
