When an individual landlord prices their rental, they do based on what the other ones in the neighborhood have rented for. 

It's just hard for a lot of people to get there regardless of how talented the individual may be.

In a 1031 exchange, does the replacement property need to be more valuable than the total sale price of the deal I sold (including other investors), or just my individual portion of the investment?

Sounds interesting.Hi Leah, as you might imagine, most of the benefits focus on individuals and properties directly impacted by the disaster.

Also keep in mind that if the concern is lawsuits, they can still name you individually in a suit and it is just another battle.

Quote from @John Friendas: Hey,My investing partner and I have reached an agreement where he would have the debt under his name and apply for it individually, and I would do the majority of the management (he is out of state and my income is half his).

There's some excellent relevant & recent material from very high quality individuals on this forum.

There were at least 5 individuals who seemed ready to rise to the occasion and help this poster with their borrowing needs.

I'm sure there are many more experiences where the contractor hasn't fulfilled their scope of work and gotten away with rushing the project to meet the deadline, And, I don't want to be as naive to say that I'm that 1% who can have complete quality/operational control, but I'm confident I can establish a system and hire independent inspectors to review the contractor's work. 

These costs for most of the individuals are considered personal in nature (unless you have a RE portfolio that is run like a business; see below).
