Check out my personal favorite, Set For Life by @Scott Trench , or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. 3.

Your goal is to get a qualified body in the unit ASAP paying you so you don't have to pay out of pocket.   

I have purchases a house and need some plumbing and bathroom makeover.

The only real disadvantage is there is a governing body to answer to if you're into shady business practices.

O am likely the oldest rookie ever to join the BP student body.

My post about asking about what to do with a dead body in an STR got deleted by a moderator. 

Whether its walks, family, music, food, tennis, whatever it is - make sure you keep your body, mind, and attitude good.  

if not, any body interested in starting up one?

@Colleen F.Hey Colleen, it’s funny we went with the $200 pet fee to discourage dogs because we wanted to be able to say all our units were dog friendly but 16 people and 8 dogs is a lot of bodies for one lot “We allow 2 dogs per guest”.

So the more tax you can defer over time the more income you'll make over time from the deferred tax.A 1031 does require the use of an unrelated 3rd party to the transaction called the qualified intermediary.
