We have been flipping for about 10 years in U.S and we definitely understand that there may be many rules, laws and regulations limiting the ability to flip for a profit worth the effort.

When you're borrowing money to borrow money you're going to quickly hit DTI limits.

The amount you can use for closing costs and rate buy downs is limited, so that leaves you with the majority of the credit for "upgrades," like finishing the landscaping, building a fence, installing sod, a sprinkler system, planting trees, buying appliances and installing blinds, etc.

Being involved in the area as an agent puts me infront of a lot of people who want to sell their properties for way under market value, but I can only handle a limited amount with my own funds/time.Anyways, feel free to PM or comment if you might be interested in meeting up!

I live and invest in a classic "cash flow markets" (which has seen 8 years of steady appreciation and is hyper competitive and has very little inventory), and I would not feel comfortable to promise you quick and easy cash flow, certainly not within the time limitations of a 1031.

I knew my limitations and I know there are hundreds of super successful syndicators but for me the risk of something not going right was too great so I took a different path. 

Small claims is the best approach which has a limit of $7,500 in Colorado.

We would love to connect with other investors who have done creative financing, rolled equity over, done battle with loan limits that are so unrealistic, or even moved their money out of state?!
