Meanwhile, a regular 1031 can be less complicated to manage if your main focus is simply deferring gains.Considering how property values and financing rates have shifted these past months.. do you think an OZF might be a better strategic move than a 1031 in your situation?

I wasn’t feeling good about anyone pursuing me to lend me money, but this cements even more why to stick with regular lenders when possible. 

Hi, I was wondering if I can get any current advice if it is worth converting a regular fireplace into a gas fireplace.

It's just the nature of the business.

My due diligence process was certainly tightened up after that deal and analyzing properties and understanding what things will cost is now 2nd nature to me. 

Up until then I was cheerleading the earlier thought experiments about supporting lean/regular/fat income with ~$1000 / month per paid off SFH, thinking “I could bang that out in 5 years”.

That feature is bundled in a Resident Benefits Package I have as an addon through Second Nature. 

Just make sure all pieces are accounted for regularly.

in our area that is a real big deal.. we did another demo and left a few pieces of flooring an inspector came on our job determined they had asbestos in them and we violated taking asbestos items to the regular land fill.. that cost me 19k in fines and 18k in lawyer fees to keep the fines from being really big..

Buy something close to parks, nature, trails, or outdoor venues.
