If you're looking for a mentor you should try networking with your local REIA group or find local meet ups in your area on BP.

But I would start attending local real estate meet ups in your city.

This whole meeting and initial book reading stirred the memories I had of my father and we can’t help but to continue where he left off and build a legacy for our future family.

I look forward to meeting you there.

What got me back in the game was 2 things...1) Mark Ferguson's book "Build a Rental Property Empire" and 2) listening to 2 different podcasts where I heard 2 people who were in my current profession resign because they were making so much money in Real Estate.I attended my first meet up this week and it was nice to speak with people with the same goals and interest in Real Estate.  

From there, I was even more shocked when 2 of them sent me docu-signs with their agreement and asked me to sign before they even would look at the property, get on a call or meet up in person. 

Is it standard to pay the fee if the property is already occupied with a tenant? 

For me, I keep lunch spots open to meet with people wanting to do business with me including potential clients, mortgage brokers, title reps, insurance agents and financial planners.

At 1100sq ft, a standard rehab will probably be $30k, so $125,000 × .7 = $87,500.

Syndications and DSTs may or may not qualify for a condo like-kind exchange, depending on the asset and structure of the exchange.If it were me, a small MF is exactly what I would purchase next, depending on the amount of the proceedsI would also get an agent to find the next deal for you, one that works with investors and can simply bring you properties that meet the 1031 and your criteria.
