@Brendan Reilly it always makes sense to monetize everything you possibly can on an investment property.

Does anyone know how difficult it is to do a monetized installment sale as an alternative to 1031 for deferring capital gains taxes?

& liensTitle - All persons on record title Interests - All persons who are or would be claimants if any record owner deceasedOpportunities - List if ways to monetize the asset (fix and sell, fix and rent, develop, etc.)When you're "in the crunch" (deal time) it's pretty hard to tell your prospective seller that you need to stop and read a book or take a class. 

Looking to purchse a building that need rehabbing is hard money a good plane to start

Now, if only I could monetize this thread.

I am on the verge of buying a home and I am wondering in this market and in general do people usually put down an earnest money deposit??? I always remember reading in books never to put one down, but those where stuf...

You can’t monetize everything.... contrary to popular belief on BP.

Client owns a portion of an existing shopping center, and some of his portion is undeveloped (the “surplus property”).I attempted to buy the surplus property for my own development purposes, but I could not come to terms with the Seller.Seller (not a real estate guy) decided to attempt to self-develop the surplus.This is where my “Seller” became my “Client” as he hired me to handle the development for him.I’d put in a lot of time, but now the only way to monetize the opportunity was to pull out some consulting fees.He hired me (yes, we had a contract) to determine what to build, how much rent could be expected, to coordinate with the other tenants, navigate through the leases, the REA, etc.It now appears he is not going to pay me the last installment of my fee.Can I file a lien?

That was the start We have went from: The Gold Standard The Paper Standard Now we have the digital standard Fractional banking needs to have a 12:1 ratio of real monet to vapor paper, 20:1 can workwith the way balance sheets work.

One of the big reasons for this is that I think the government is going to monetize the debt by inflating our currency in the long run.
