@Sandi L williamsThis will probably not help you in the short term, but if you are going to be in the business long term, you need to build contacts, so when a deal materializes you have access to capital, either debt or equity, fast.In today’s world, it can be done utilizing social networking online, but is much quicker utilizing face to face meetings.

Our nation has slowly become more and more of a debtor nation, resulting in an inability for many people nation wide to save up a down payment as well as qualify for a mortgage. 4.

You could balance between and stash half the monthly surplus in an opportunity/acquisition fund and the other half at the LOC debt, or any number of other things. 

The money just gets withdrawn from the debtor’s paycheck and sent to you each pay period until the debt is paid off.

You can also use other types of funding (syndication so you are not using a regulated lender for the debt or for the equity).Think of it this way.

What happens with the $ regarding debt or appreciation? 

There are so many ways to take on real estate investing, weather it is the BRRRR method, fix and flip, wholesaling or being a debtor and loan some of your money.

The debtor is already playing games and has transferred all assets except the subject property to his children.

To make the 1031 work, you would need to replace the rest of the value with debt (or extra cash if you have it, but always you must have equal or greater equity AND equal or greater value to defer all taxation), but rather than having one big loan on a prop worth $720k, you'd have 4-6 smaller loans on properties that produce positive income (even with management).

; )Just the follow on increase in real estate taxes would land us all in debtor's prison.
