But he could also exchange for multi family, raw land, vacation rentals etc etc.Also, the latest news is that 1031 for real property will survive barring any changes to the latest bill.

They do everything right to get their finances on track and still get left with a raw deal.I know LO can be used ethically, but I've seen far more of the "thin air deals" where value is created where none exists. 

And so almost immediately after graduating college and launching myself into a very modest entry level career, I decided I was going to buy a Ford Mustang Cobra and turn it into one of the “sickest” street cars around…something worthy of being placed on the glossy pages of a magazine.Roughly $17,000 later – mostly financed – I was sitting behind the wheel of my very own slice of raw, American muscle.

Those who think government should get out of housing matters don't really understand the bigger picture (I'm hearing political overtones too, LOL) it takes government to stimulate the industry and it's not just RE, influence run through durable goods, labor, raw materials, shipping and the financial industry, you pull the pug and the whole economy is at risk of going down the drain.
