Do they pick up after themselves? 

My two cents are with 400k,  pick a market and get started. 

You should never pick your 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary based solely on their 1031 Exchange fees, costs and charges or the size of the institution.

While you building your score you will be looking for land to buld a home on and jerome will be telling you how to go about finding best location to buld the house the best criteria  to use to pick that locTion and thw price point you want to pay.

It also means doing your due diligence to ensure the property you pick up actually makes financial sense, not just in year one but down the line.

Unless you're partying in Hawaii and picking real estate without doing any due diligence at all.

Pick a solid B-Class suburban area.

If I were you I’d pick a market and become an expert on it.

Yup then you get newbies coming up after they watch you buy a few and want to buy you a cup of coffee and pick your  brain.. 

Does everyone else find it odd that @Dutch Mendenhall has been an active participant on this site for years and he goes silent while @Brent Mendenhall picks up the pieces?
