Challenges?

In todays environment of back to historically normal interest rates and higher home values - now really is not a great time to buy.

In areas like South DFW, challenges like limited inventory and high prices require creative approaches such as off-market deals, foreclosures, or properties needing updates.

Our current economic conditions are challenging for cash flow in most markets, but I wouldn't let that stop me from diving in. 

Or, the trust (with trustee other than yourself) owns the property with LLC as beneficiary.Costs: LLC registration, annual secretary of state fees, agent for service fees, bookkeeping fees, tax prep fees, attorney fees to unravel structure mistakes, others I can't think of.Also, there are challenges getting title insurance, property insurance and loans for a trust.This is a way to get your name out of public record, no comment on whether it's good or bad. 

I look at every single item in the pro forma and imagine that it is complete BS, and see if I can challenge it.

@Shawn NofzigerHi Shawn,I came across your post and while I am a long way from Lansing, I work with a ton of new and aspiring investors and the challenges they have getting from idea to action. 

That's the challenge with doing a 1031 with multiple properties.
