You're in luck, because compared to residential lending, getting set up as a commercial lender is a cake walk.

It is a piece of cake to have people and personal items vacated from the storage unit.

Many folks get very intimidated by the constrained time periods for identification of potential replacements (45 days) and the entire exchange period (180 days) and think by being patient they can find properties over time that offset having to pay the tax immediately.Some folks figure they can take the additional 20 - 25% of tax and find good bargains within the time periods and have their cake and eat it too.Bottom line is it depends on your confidence level.  

I have a SFH in Anaheim, CA.  

Any future appreciation is just icing on the cake.

Let's say to make it easy also $40K.I'm the one getting the other parties together, find the property and negiotiate the price.Let's say the place can be sold for $120K.How would you split the cake between the investor, the improver and myself?

Cashflow is the insurance policy in case income drops, prices drop, yourself or a family member has a medical emergency and your income gets reduced or you have a break from work.Appreciation, to me, is icing on the cake.

We look for failed burned out landlord investors that went into the business thinking it was a piece of cake.
