Would be good markets to plant seeds in.  

And he can close in 2 weeks (which I've needed on a deal or two in the past).But its a good seed to keep in mind.

As I mentioned earlier, I only "have to" incur $100k debt in my 1031 transaction, but a seed was planted that incurring additional debt can actually have a lot of benefits, including reduced tax liability.  

However, you are simply paying tax on the seed, and anything you grow from that will be tax free. 

This seed money will allow me to scale faster and potentially achieve my goals much quicker.

Certainly you aren't suggesting that wealthy people rely on others with knowledge comparable to RE gurus, that would be laughable.Comparisons of the wealthy to commoners is a favorite agenda for gurus, plant the seed that such is not only attainable without further education but common and can be accomplished through their services.

My lease restricted business activities up front, while there are activities that I couldn't do anything about, the lease set the seed in the tenant's mind that no business activity was acceptable....it worked! 

It was time for us to move on.Business RebootNow cashed out of the apartment (and our 3rd SF purchase), all credit lines paid off, and with seed money for marketing, my wife and I wanted to get things rolling again.

Now, I have to go rotate my seed collection, Later....

It is also possible to succeed in REI without good credit or seed funds.
