An astute seller might not want to carry a note for a long period of time in fear of an emergency that might come up.

Jorge Rios I was told a few months back that some of the newly built apartments were beginning to sit empty for longer periods and there were fears around some of these not making the returns they had originally projected.

He really is a great guy and I don't fear the scam that many complain about but I feel strongly that whatever education they can provide (from $2-20k) can be found on BP and in other RE books for much less.  

One of my biggest fears is that I will not be able to successfully rent out my house as I will be living out of state within the year.Would it be more financially responsible to simply rent until I settle down in one location?

I don't know this for a fact but I think it may be because of the liability issues you fear may come with them..

@Joe Kim, My former Scottsdale co-host, and Cousin is moving to the Bay area to start work, I want to stand a property out there up, but have received fearful, OMG's from a college buddy who is a property manager.

Be fearful.

Risk is to be managed, not feared!

But that's as much fear of the boom and bust nature of FL as anything.But @Alysa Phalen does not need to purchase another apartment building in CO to satisfy 1031.

I feel like I'm at that spot right now, Teetering on the edge of doing something but being "fearful" of pulling the trigger.
