I encourage all others who have been swindled or have had similar experiences to share them too and to submit complaints to the Better Business Bureau, Department of Consumer Affairs, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, State Board of Accountancy, Federal Trade Commission, Police Department’s Financial Crime Unit, and the District Attorney.For the potential franchisee owners who are considering this as a business, I would run the other way!

So to combat that trade imbalance from facilitating a stall-out via deflation of currency in domestic supply, we MUST keep printing.

SFH always appreciate faster than multifamily, you can trade them with basically anyone in the world as opposed to multifamily (only investors) and you are separating your investments to many buckets so you can sell parts of your portfolio when\if needed.

The neighborhood has a strong sales history, and I should be able to gross $38k.No school or class will replace the value of getting started and learning your trade.

Trade offs, fact of life. 

Your job is to ensure that the property is safe for all tenants, visitors, trades. 

To the degree, one is realistic, the probability of finding a replacement property increase.Say you want to sell a fourplex to trade into and buy via 1031 a 20 unit apartment building.And the market cap rate is 6% but you want to buy something that offers a 6.5% cap rate, you probably won’t be able to find it.

@Chris Seveney If you invest certain countries like in Mexico, the properties you'll invest in will most likely be will be traded in USD so no currency risk there.

I also realize that I may have to pay up to 5% to put it on a credit card, however, that is well worth the trade-off. 

We call that subdivision prices and we'd go broke if we pay the same.But my contractors don't have to pay a salesman, we always have multiple jobs, we are easy to work with, I am not getting 3 estimates, I am not negotiating with them and I don't call them back to take care of some BS warranty.We have worked with most of our trades for many years and we take care of each other.
