Someone who has nothing to gain if you buy the property or not.  

I know the deferment period for capital gains is almost up, but what are the pros and Cons of an OZF vs a traditional 1031?

Alternatively, do the risks outweigh the benefits of $500+ cashflow plus 30% day one equity and less than 2k out of pocket?

There is a huge gain probably in a more efficient gas system then oil so they are already getting some cost savings. 

Looking to connect with others and see what knowledge I can gain and what I can offer.

Ensure compliance with local laws, start with smaller loans to gain experience, monitor your investments regularly, and trust your instincts as you navigate this venture.I myself, as a PML.

If you are looking to avoid cap gains on one, ok, but paying you a little more to become the bank is not whipped cream on a sundae to me, it's like one old walnut.

It also has the benefit of being local which is great training wheels as you learn how to be a killer host.Now assuming that you mostly want a cool property to stay in sometimes near water and don't want to spend a ton of time managing I really like the outer banks in NC.

That feature is bundled in a Resident Benefits Package I have as an addon through Second Nature. 

Im just trying to create weath fast as possible now so i can gain more time!
