Best networking tip is to go out there and be helpful to other people, talk about what you do, pass out your card as fast as you can, exchange contact info and find out about them so you can celebrate their lives as it happens, and follow up, follow up, follow up.

In exchange he run comps on your deals for you.Maybe the MLS can present some good comps for you.If you check zillow, redfin, and MLS and still cant find any good comps. 

In short, I am willing to pay market value for the property in exchange for putting zero of my own cash into the deal. 

PM me if you'd like to exchange contact info to discuss.

Will I have to pay taxes on money that we make, can I do a 1031 exchange or is there something else I can do to help on taxes

Can anyone recommend a good qualified intermediary for a 1031 Exchange in the Dallas TX area?

To transfer assets to a UPREIT you need to do a 721 Exchange which most likely unless you contributing the property directly you will need to find a suitable replacement property that you can 1031 exchange into and then 721 exchange from that.

I suppose you could help them out of the goodness of your heart but, you couldn't do it for compensation unless you were registered/licensed in many states (California is one of those states) and doing it without that paperwork could subject you to civil and criminal penalties if you ended up taking title to that property, or received compensation in exchange for helping them or made some promise like, you are there to help them.Maybe I'm misunderstanding your post but, if you don't understand what the general qualifications are for a loan mod, I'm confident you shouldn't be doing what you say you are doing, or trying to do.

You do it at your daily job in exchange for salary.

As someone with some free time and good analytical horsepower who lacks a large sum of capital I'm hoping to connect with experienced out-of-state investors to whom I could provide value in exchange for knowledge and experience and potentially some equity in deals.
