I have learned over the years, that there will always be those that do and those that don't or won't.I think we all know the old saying "you can lead a horse to water but you can not make him drink.".

And people start seeing you everywhere providing pure value.Remember this is something you SHOULD do regardless.

It seems there is a pretty decent group of people on BiggerPockets here in Portugal and it would be fun to meet up and have a few drinks and chat mainly about REI.

Drinks are on me!

If you're curious - read it here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1221700-rant-...In closing: The dangers of shifting the timing (of your income, expenses, and business transactions.)A purely mathematical exercise may indicate some beneficial timing for this or that.

How are folks navigating 1031 and high financing rates vs taking capital gains hit and having pure cash on hand to redeploy elsewhere (in my case, rebuilding on my primary residence)?

As of 2024, it shows the sell price as pure income and all the expenses isn't enough to offset the tax. 

I want you to feel the pride in being told all your accomplishments over 10 or 20 years are pure luck by someone afraid to get started.

I hope you understand this is purely about what works best for my budget.

I'd also like to connect with someone who is in the local market that can offer me some guidance, I'm happy to pay for lunch/coffee/drinks!
