However, if having your own separate home is your main goal, buying a personal home first might be better, though it could limit your ability to buy an investment property soon after.

And, comment to all, is there any ability to track these assets and see who owns the notes right now?

But, if a cost-seg study is done on the old property, you can manage Sec. 1245 recapture tax by doing a study on the new property to confirm it has as much or more Sec. 1245 property.You cannot swap a fully depreciated gas station for a raw piece of land and avoid recapture - you must replace all the 1245 and 1250 property.3) OZ - Sure you can defer your capital gains for a few years into an OZ fund, but the magic of OZ investments is the ability to achieve tax-exempt growth after a 10-year holding period.

If you are a considerate buyer that demonstrates an ability to perform, off market deals will come to you through those people with whom you have developed good working relationships.

Not you, not me, not anyone.If you’re relying on your ability to predict when or if someone will become motivated, then yes—it will be ridiculously hard to generate leads.But if you do it right…And let motivated sellers come and find you…How on earth is it hard?

Once you convert to operating units in the REIT you can’t 1031 exchange anymore, but you may have the ability to sell your interest in small amounts to pay capital gains tax over time.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: my advice is to get some cash first.. dont be so focused on super high leverage. do seller finance first .. forget sub too until you are very well established and have ability to cash out the loans or refi on a moments notice @Don Konipol  Don gave you chapter a verse about the sub to risk/rewards.

You can do all of those to increase value or sale ability. 

I am in an R3 zone so I am under the impression I have the ability to do so.
