I am currently a sophomore in college working towards my bachelors of science in business analytics and marketing.

Apparently, he checked into it and agreed, it's that simple. 1031 into something smaller is a little more complex, but not rocket science either.

All I had to do is fix up the second house and then rent it out, he was glorifying that the rent would pay off the mortgage but after he gave me the figures and after I saw how much work was involved, for me it wasn't rocket science I figured the guy was giving me a ride.

What we've come to a conclusion about is that direct mail marketing is part art, part science.

In my previous post when I spoke about the fictional couple, they were covered under commercial health insurance-it was the cost of their care that was the problem-specifically memory care.  

My science oriented brain needs this kind of guidance.

Crime is 1/3 the national average, property taxes are 49th in the country (making your ROI better than most states), median home cost is better than almost anywhere else, and median income is among the highest in the country because of all of the R&D jobs in science, technology, aerospace and defense industry.Huntsville is a primary nuclear target, so if you worry about that diversification is a great idea, but you can inspect every property, have oversight on construction and property management, and get off market deals more easily.  

I just feel that having been an appraiser, I recognize that appraising is not a perfect science.

Don't sell yourself short, RE is not rocket science!

With some guidance initially, this is not rocket science and you won't want to fix another faucet for the rest of your life!
