Please stop attempting to suggest that the seller would be without recourse in the event you default on the installment contract.Buyer:   I am not interested in a non-colateralized transaction.

One other question if you know are they attempting to be like a REIT or are they, seems similar. 

I don't attempt to compete with it.

The only experience I've had with PPR is that they have not responded to my numerous attempts to contact them from their website, so I couldn't tell you anything about them other than they are most likely way understaffed. 

@Nate VidalesHave you attempted to begin attending Real Estate Investor meetups in your area?

There are quite a few individuals and companies that have attempted these at some scale, and traditional construction beats them out on cost all things considered.

@Doug Pretorius You know someone is now, most certainly, going to attempt this!

But the IRS does have an issue with buying from a related party to complete a 1031 exchange when there is an attempt to avoid tax. 

I am here to attempt to add value in any possible way.

You should inquire of the seller whether he has attempted to sell the portfolio in the past and what happened.
