There are a bunch of local Vegas Valley folks on the site, so get involved and start networking.

I've been listening to the podcast for last couple of days and liked it so much I had to get involved here on the forum.I'm really hoping to build some solid relationships, add to value to community how ever I can and am eager for any nuggets of advice any investing vets are willing to share with a newbie!

Again, buyers would have to be willing to participate in the 1031 exchange whether traditional or reverse. 1031 exchanges involving multiple relinquished or replacement properties are always more challenging from what I've been told by the QI and the 1031 specialist attorney I have used.And if a traditional exchange, then QI does not take title so lender participation is easier.

If you're not doing any demo work or changing any light switches but you are working a wholesale deal, I'd love to get involved in that somehow too.
