I am a realtor and I normally deal with buyers and it’s worked for me so far. 

Just to follow up on a couple because they do make sense but the numbers don't add up for me :/ Annual Expenses: @ Year 1 = $18.718 * 1,02 = $19.032,36 in order to get Year 2.

They allow you to download a csv file and then I parse that.

For me, contractors have normally been found/referred once I need them (not the other way around). 

Additionally you could use a different contract from an attorney that has the contract drafted the way you want instead of using the Realtor forms.

I currently have 100K in the bank doing absolutely nothing and I want to get the best bang for my buck in terms of properties/investment.I figured that if I am able to invest 100K outside my state, I would be able to buy several properties and put them to work for me compared to just buying one here in NY. 

Form an LLC?

Yeah, it worked well for me.

I very bad with numbers, but I gather from your email that you think that instead of taking a capital gain loss it would work best for me to do a 1013 exchange...that's why I mentioned RealWealth Network because in NY state market my net gain of 570k would not allow for the purchase of a large apt. building.thank u so much again for your input!

After getting a Commercial lead that ended up not working out, but was a toe-in-the-water experience for me, I've started looking at Multifamily, CAP Rates, and the like.
