Look at their profile and then do a little digging.Do they have a web presenceDo they put their contact information on their profileIf you call them and leave a message, do they call you backDo they just have a gmail or yahoo email or do they work for a companyAre they Pro members vs. free And a big one is do they ask for money up front for their services (application fee) vs. just getting the appraisal and credit report covered.Truthfully, I think it's harder to find out if an investor is legit as opposed to lenders/brokers, but I understand how, with all the lenders/brokers out there, they can be difficult to weed through.Good luck,Stephanie

I’m not an Accredited Investor, so I won’t be able to invest at 1031crowdfunding.Question #1: Is there any 1031 Exchange crowdfunding web sites for non-Accredited Investors?

You can decode these using the manafacuters web site

Most people got burned in the market crash, me included, because they were gambling with market appreciation.  

I think i just take the pro-rated 8 months of depreciation in 2016 (for both actually) but when using one of the automated web services to do my taxes, i get a warning talking about net gain or loss Form 8829 , referring me to 8549, and form 4797.  

It can be a generic statement in the lease (eg: any changes to this agreement must be made in writing, signed by all parties, and may result in increased rent) or it can be something you post publicly on your web site.

Its a big gamble, and one the note seller is obviously not willing to take to potentially earn a meager $5k more.

This is a gamble in regards to appreciation. 

on one of your post a reply came back that your comparing oranges to Iceberg lettuce and for sure you are when you compare vegas and Memphis.What caused the meltdown in Vegas and PhX  @David Faulkner  well I can tell youVegas relys on gambling and tourism in the crash any tourist city and gambling city got hurtand then for rentals  what killed that market and phx is that a very large portion of your renters were in the building trades subcontractors laborers etc etc.. building came to a complete STOP.. those thousands upon thousands of jobs left.. and most of those folks rented.Memphis is a rental city and has basically always been one with about 50 to 55% of pop are renters.

As a web programmer, it is nothing to write a webcrawler to mine contact info from BP profiles  :sigh:IMO, activity, interests, experience and market area is far more useful
