I mean that is a vast oversimplification of what the process would look like I assume, but if I was back in Denver and I could potentially get a decent deal on every multifamily by buying TOPA rights it seems like at least another avenue of attack.

Chicago is such a vast area that you have to get very granular and figure out precisely what you want!   

The Order finds that ORES did not own the vast majority of mobile homes that it represented to investors that it would fix and flip.

Unfortunately for all concerned, it just doesn’t work out a vast majority of the time. 

I'm not looking into house hack, although that would be viable if I was younger.I just have capital saved and with the vast array of investment options in real estate I been pondering what the most effective way to do it would be.I'm still considering a multi family but instead of just going into it with the narrow point of view of using it as a long term rental I should be be considering any unit for possible STR/MTR depending on the market as well.With the whole Airbnb arbitrage I thought it would be a good way to enhance cash flow.

And perfectly details how illegal immigration is BAD in a whole array of ways including to the illegal immigrants themselves, as a life of exploitation is NOT a life or system of any good. 

I would advise caution, small markets that vastly outperform attract people and the market due to its size quickly saturates and goes to crap. 

In my experience, no - with the (not so recent) changes, a 1031 exchange is only done for similar types of investments (defined generally as "like-kind" assets), with the vast majority being real estate for other investment real estate. 

Those 15 years were vastly different.
