If they press, tell them you're looking into transferring property into a family trust at the request of your lawyer for estate planning and you are just checking to see if the transfer tax applies.

As for Tuesday, I may be hard pressed to make it, but I will try - keep me in the loop on the location. 

Ray, if you are looking for help with strategy you'd be hard pressed to find any better information than that which Sean Terry will give you on his podcast.

My market is just over 600,000 in population, small compared to 100+ other markets, I'd be hard pressed to find 5, 40K properties in any year, to rent or flip, reality doesn't work with pro forma estimates, can't realistically have a model of buying the same price range +/- a couple thousand 5 times a year for ten years, it only demonstrates the theory.We haven't discussed the headaches in landlord operations, the difference in nicer more expensive homes and the cheapies.

Not sure I'd press the issue to have the seller install these, but They do need to be installed one way or another.

FL press is hungry for this story.Thanks.

But is there a bench mark that expereinced and successful investors make?

just listing off that i own X number of properties, in my mind is still just an ego boost..it's kind of like saying, "ya, i can bench 400 pounds", when people can aleady see you have a huge chest and python arms...it just boosts your own ego, and you know i'm not that guy!

I see in the near future paper money being replaced by electronic credits and if you want to spend some of that new electronic money just press a button on your new tablet and bam you got what you wanted all done electronically.

Is there some kind of press release that would have this info?
