I tend to have a perpetual case of "getting-ready-to-get-ready", but it occurred to me the other day that I might just have a great opportunity right under my nose.I currently rent a room in a house that i live in part-time.  

Sometimes movement of less than 10K is required to be reported as well.You probably won't have a knock at the door though.

It's the small, consistent needle point movements and make the quilt 💪🏾

Obviously you want it to not pool at the spot or even flow towards the house, you want to see a clear movement away from the house.

They are, for all practical purposes, using the dividend they would have paid to hedge in the options markets to capture as much movement in the market index as they can get with the money they have to spend.

Now I live in perpetual rain :) If you haven't yet - be sure to check out "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing" to help you get started, and don't miss the Podcasts - they can be really helpful as well.

(Done the cc thing too, and it's actually kind of fun once you get over the sleepless nights and perpetual heartburn and ulcers.)

If there is any indication of movement I will use another option. 

Do REOs negotiate in smaller movements ($500, $750) and might it be better to start small movements now?

The flexibility of the 1031 to go small to large, few to many to few, geography to geography and sector to sector give you the ultimate power to shape your portfolio to get the performance you want in the place and sector you want and never pay a penny in tax on the gain from the movement of those properties.
