Do you want a tenant to pay on time... do you want them to treat the property good... do you want them to stay for multiple years... than why not have a conversation with them about putting in the 220?

This is an area I’m always curious about, so let’s keep the conversation going! 

So, I DON'T trust my ability to determine someone's character based on a few minute casual conversation and I DO trust my ability to manage even difficult tenants. 

Here is the thread I started a few months back detailing my experience with Growth Equity Group, Brett Immel, and their cronies.https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Subsequently, I've had dozens of investors come to me directly, many of them having phone conversations with me, stating how they lost most or all of their retirement funds.

We're talking about conversion of promissory notes without notifying the signatories that the notes are convertible.

Coming into this conversation a bit late. 

And I do have the photos at the end by design, because I want a person to end the experience with a specific feeling of "oh wow, look at that, it's got that too", which helps drive conversion. 

how would they know.. unless someone is doing a refinance and in conversation tells the escrow agent what happened..I have personally done well over 100 sub toos and my dad did over 500 of them when i was a young agent back in the late 70s and into the early 80s when rates were even worse than today this is not something that anyone Myself or Pace made up as a new model. its not.

Keep in mind, though, if you just sell outright, you could be looking at capital gains and depreciation recapture, so it’s worth crunching the numbers with a proper tax professional (I’m not one, by the way).What do you think the rest of the community has seen happen to property values since last year, and do you believe it changes the 1031 conversation?
