Hi from beautiful Wilmington, NC.

I just went into contract with two beautiful SFH in good suburbs of San Antonio, TX for approx 220k each, and need loans of 120k on each of the properties.I've never taken out a private money loan before, and am very nervous about finding a company that is genuine, as I've read the tales on the forum here, and also have Googled one company and read the many complaints about how these scam operations work.

My fiancé and I are considering placing an offer on a beautiful 6 bedroom 2 bath in Albany.

Standard is for me is high end clients who want to improve their home and return the beauty into their ease style and comfort.

That is the beauty of America. 

Wood paneling, green shag carpet, floral wallpaper, and yellowed curtains dominated the natural beauty of our 1912 beast.

I'm not sure I want to keep wasting my time providing beautiful housing and excellent service to tenants who don't give a sh*t, spending each and every weekend crawling around in attics and crawlspaces of rentals with no time to even do my own laundry, or testifying at city council meetings--literally getting personally insulted by council members in the process--after waiting 6 hours a pop just to do my civic duty.  

But you must be able to demonstrate your intent.So in your case selling a portfolio of rentals to buy one really juiced beautiful property to hold as a rental is fine for 1031. 

Not just to shorten the length.Your lender is a beautiful unicorn, looking out for you and saving you money and pain, Paul.

Its sooo beautiful.
