@Brian Gibbons"Attack of the Gurus" is to be a fictional movie of what happens to RE investors following systems and creative methods as their accountants inform them of their tax liabilities of thousands of dollars when they have not received their money yet. 

There are well over one thousand books.

If you had a broker with limited experience who saves you a mediocre amount on commission is that worth making a mistake costing hundreds of thousands due to their inexperience?

This is a post I made on Intuits site while seeking resolution to the critical problems we were attempting to resolve.https://community.intuit.com/questions/1201452-not-happy-significant-issues-with-accepting-money-orders-qb-2015-costing-me-thousands-of-dollarsThe link above is the summary.

It is locked in at a 3.25% interest rate 30 yr fixed.I know we have a few options that include 1031, selling it and getting the 250K or 500K (we are married) tax exemption, and lastly potential keeping the property and cash out refi.My question is....If we decide to keep the property and do a cash out refi we would be able to pull out a few hundred thousand.

Be patient and learn from someone that is already successful,and last but not least don't pay thousands of dollars for boot camps.

If you pay all those plus a premium, you should be on the safe side and less resistance, MAYBE it will not ruin your chances of hiring them again.

if your an accredited investor the syndication approach is one that is quite popular.. and of course those deals the sponsor frankly is more important than the asset most of the time. a poor operator can ruin a good project a great operator can save a struggly project or one that has some bumps in the road.crowdfunding is an option one thing though that I don't like about crowdfunding at least on smaller debt deals is there is a huge heard mentality and the debt deals once posted sometimes are subscribed in 30 minutes.. no way anyone can do due diligence on those.. its like throwing darts at a board..

I wouldn't lose a good deal over a couple thousand dollars.

Condo building roofs can cost 100's of thousands and if a HOA votes for a Special Assessment to change that roof 6 months after you buy in...it will be nice to have that covered.Dan
