@Trevor Aydelott. Keep me in mind. Just trying to get started. Would like to get my first one before the end of this year. Thanks

@Trevor Aydelott. Still have this property? What are the details? Thanks

@Tony Robinson nice! Thank you for sharing the details!

@Dave Foster thank you! I sent you an email! Look forward to hearing your thoughts!

@Dave Foster, thank you for the reply! She just recieved an offer on the property today so we need to get a plan in place! Would we be able to reach out to you with some more questions? Thanks again!

My mother has a 470 acre property of pasture land and foothills. She is considering sell and worried about capital gains.  She is under the impression that the only way she could avoid capital gains is to buy a similar property?  As in she can not buy rental property, houses or apartments on a 1031 exchange.  She would have to buy another pasture/farmland type property?  Can anyone help clarify this for me?  Thanks

Hello BP community ! Just a quick clarification for all that put the weight in their feed back as the "EDUCATION". 

Before i start I DON"T SELL NOTHING TO NOBODY < JUST MY EXPERIENCE IN THE DAVIE,  FL COMMUNITY!!!! If you see it / or experience a different way well i sure is possible! However I am not a "Cheerleader" and i wont be one , but i learn to cut to the noise and find the best of each situation ! so here we go the results 

YES Renatus is an Education company and yes it cost money and perhaps you could find at least 50% of the info online... But you are all missing the point in Here .. you are not paying just for the Education/ Information you are paying is not just for the education (Even if all their instructors are Accredited Investors/ Practitioners , and they are making the money in the same field that they are teaching **** Google any of the names in the list and you will find successful business owners, lawyers, CPA, Financial Advisors , ) is for the communities (more the 40 + communities deal all over US) . You are paying for the support oft he Company communities and even more... ( Contacts, forms, properties, all successful members cell phone ( my fav one - any time o got a question i got a local person can meet me and check on the deal together ) ( JV for deals) .. or EPIC E.ducation , P. roperties , I.come , C. ommunities . .. And yes you could invest the money for a deal ... but lets be STRAIGHT . with 2k you get the basic education / foot in the door. How many deal you can get with 2k? let me just tell you like this i paid 2 k.. the first 2 mo i recover my money with their Referral program and last and most important i got 2 deals as flip and 3 wholesales in 2 year all inside of the community ) all of you just ... PURE MATH! ... Give me you feedback i got plenty of Proven facts and Tax Returns to prove every work i said

 OK...I am convinced.  Please provide an address so i can sent you every dime I have.  HA!

I just got invited to a "meeting" by a guy I met here on BP.  We had a couple phone conversations and I feel the way he conveyed the image of what they do to be very misleading.  I drove 2 hours to said meeting this morning to walk into a room full of cheerleaders in suits, upbeat music and people dancing around like idiots.  Then they put some young guy up front for an intro cracking corny jokes and telling us he now makes so much money he legally can't tell us what he makes!  Oooh I was so impressed!  Then some other goon gets up and tells his rags to riches story, even poking fun at Amway for doing the same smoke and mirrors tactics to get members as I had just been subject to.  Everyone in the audience was far to enthusiastic, I began to wonder how many of us were actually being pitched to and how many were planted in the audience to make the rest of us feel like we were missing the boat.  30 minutes was enough. If you have to lure me there and then try that hard to hype me up then whatever you are selling isn't worth it.  They can have it.

Hi all, 

I spend some time driving neighborhoods and finding run down houses.  When I find one i am interested in i tend to go to my county assessors website and search the property.  Sometimes the values make sense and other times there is a value that is exponentially larger than the others. Like a house selling for $165,000 and then 3 years later it shows a value of 1,219,340...then a few years later another sale of 187,450.  I can't figure out why there would be a grossly larger # in between the 2 sales.  Also in the type column there is abbreviations I can only assume for the type of sale that it was?  Not sure what they mean though.  The Reception column also has a strange # that I do not understand.  Does anyone use these reports as a resource?  Am i wasting my time.  

On a side note, how does one go about getting lists of absentee owners and those that might be near default or have owed back taxes? I am just trying to figure out how to get my hands on the right properties that have the value needed to perform and rehab and have a strong ARV. Thanks!!

@Basit Siddiqi,

Thank you. I have it so I may as well at least look into it!
