I'm not here to sell or promote anything.

I'd suggest not getting into the popular thinking or promotion of doing a 1031 until you get with a good tax advisor, one who has no interest in you doing one, and ensure that your marriage to the property type will last. 1031s have a valid place in your planning when it is truly beneficial, it's just that it isn't always.

Those who promote the strategy are either unknowing or they are lying saying it's the place to start out.

I promote listing the property to all my sellers and I'm not an agent.

They offer some differentiating factors that are helpful for promoters.

From a promoter's standpoint I have been impressed with their diligence on our company.  

Not for self promotion or sales.

Hi Steven - The most successful real estate networking group I know of is the one where there are no sales, no promotions, just introductions and round-table discussions on what people are doing, what challenges they have and some story telling.We were down to 3 people that just showed up every week.

My advice would be to promote your need for a loan with your location.

My current business is screen printing, graphics and promotional advertising.
