I would echo this, it is a great REIA and the best place to find local, like-minded individuals and resources. 

If I have to buy a last-minute ticket or spend $1,000 or so for notarized signatures at a consulate, then it has a significant effect on my choices.

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

I'm able to review the reports provided and help my clients make the best choices depending on what they're doing.

An experienced broker with lots of choices at the palm of their hand is probably the best bet.

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?

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

Your choice:1) Because of your failure to prove you have obtained renters insurance upon moving in this is your 5-7-9 (how ever many days required in your market) notice to cure the problem or leave the premises at the end of the month. . 2) Because you have failed to provide prof of renters insurance upon move in a policy will be provided for you starting March 1st through insurance company X at a cost of $xxx.xx.

If there is a choice to be made, it comes down to what an investor "likes" or prefers about one over the other? 

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.
