I will be running a benefit 5K this week to support a mom, dealing with cancer. 

She had cancer and was receiving county help with her bills, and the goal was to keep the county from putting a lien on it (her idea, not mine).

Robert Lurie passed away several years ago, of cancer.   

The full day work shops have a charge but 100% of the fee for the workshop goes to support a kids cancer fund.

A few years ago, a small Escrow Company here in Orange County that also did 1031 exchanges, was owned by a person who found out they were dying of cancer, so one day, ALL the money in the escrow exchange account disappeared, along with the owner.So my advice is to do the 1031, the government did NOT take any risk and does not deserve that large of a chunk of your profit.

Maybe I am biased since I see and diagnose cancer in young folks all the time... but, money is easily made and easily lost (by newbies too), but time is not manufactured.

Getting rid of low rent tenants is like getting rid of cancer.

Credit is viewed as to the situation, BK due to medical bills is almost ignored in reality, foreclosure is still an issue but understood and, what ever the issue was must have been cured, such as a death or cancer cured.

I'm a cancer surviver in remission since 2012.I'd been interested in investing in real estate for awhile now and after seeing those late night infomercial from Carleton sheets and spending thousands on programs that didn't work I finally decided to start in 2008 with a single family home with a traditional way (mortgage loan) it was a shortsale for 500,s I got it for 420,s I was happy at the time because I was going to remodel it and sell it but the market took another hit and I ended upside down.

The developer recently found out that he has cancer and needs to get out from under the property and is not able to complete the project.
