I love doing what I do, and I would not trade places with anyone, nor trade my life experiences for anyone else’s.

My advice, go for the smaller projects and avoid the "home run" deals and build up some good relations with the various trades.

You see them everywhere- "Buy seasoned trade lines- only $1000 each."

For those of you who don't know me well, let me say that I publish a Forex and commodity trading advisory.

be specific (as specifici as you can be without giving away any trade secrets :D ).

I was under the impression that leases are available and the governement ban on land trades is lifted or soon to be lifted.

DTI and trade line are a problem.

Long-term buy and hold realestate strategy is a process of trading cash-flow today for greater cash-flow tomorrow.

Once an investor has identified his or her like-kind replacement properties, they have to comply with the following three (3) value rules for the actual acquisition values in order to defer 100% of his or her depreciation recapture and capital gain taxes:1) Trade equal or up in value based on the net sales/purchase price; and,2) Reinvest 100% of the net equity or cash proceeds that result from closing on the sale property; and,3) Replace the mortgage.

Both the relinquished property and the replacement property must be held either for investment or for productive use in a trade or business.
