Pepper Cream Soda or Mt.

I think the challenge with this group of investors is they are taught from some guru who makes it sound like buying notes is the equivalent of going to the grocery store and picking an ice cream flavor (readily abundant and cheap).

They just want mail box money 😃@Joe S. Having

Certainly, because I don't want to evict someone who can't pay, because their "room-mates" moved out 3-months into the terms of the lease.If I go by first-come first-serve, where the first qualified applicant gets the property, I'm afraid such a 5-person situation could occur next time I need to find tenants.Is it possible to pick the cream of the crop?

Of course, I do not like white or cream, so that feeds part of my choices. 

My 1 issue with your post Celia is the argument that since 1031's have survived numerous attacks before, that they will survive this one.

Duck poppers = duck meat, jalapenos, cream cheese, bacon. 

They built them last year and recently added Agent/Investor hybrid sites as well.I have dozens of REALTOR clients and the 20-30% that switched to Carrot are achieving a higher ROI than those that have not switched.However, while I believe that Carrot is the best choice (I use it for my investing sites), there is probably some factor that the clients who switched are less lazy than those that didn't because "I don't want to spend a bunch of time moving everything" was the #1 excuse to not switch.So, it could be that the 20-30% of my clients that switched are just the cream of the crop to begin with and would have succeeded either way.What I can tell you from an investor standpoint is that Carrot makes it easier to get things done because, while it's built on Wordpress, they only implement what they have proven to be effective for the vast majority of people.So, it kind of keeps you on track and stops you from getting in your own way.Finally, their support and training is top notch.

We will definitely run this by an accountant, but just wanted to float the idea by BP as it just popped into my head yesterday as a way to maximize return without getting creamed by capital gains.

I'm pretty sure I could have shaved a bit off my interest rates by shopping but there has been great value to us in working with one bank for the last 4.5 years as we have scaled.
