but since he's never done it that way, he doesn't want to change.When I moved to Texas in the early 80's it was perfectly legal to grab a cold one and drink it on the drive home.  

There are a lot of start up costs and also competition with the major soft drink companies. ( Stainless steel tanks, trucks, advertising, bottles, labels, marketing, health department regs, etc. )As I am an idiot when it comes to real estate, do you have to 1031 all at one time or over time?

Mr Lereah... all drinking the same cool-aid.

Heaven is expensive:) When they are freezing up in the north we will be riding around in our convertibles wearing shorts and drinking iced tea:) When the right deal comes along, I can pull 100% out of the house posted above if needed and yes, returns are infinite. 

You should buy the property and demand that the church moves so someone can open up a pot shop that also sells alcohol and guns.  

Their needs are pretty simple.A place to drink beer after work.A place to cook food. 

If he does, he will always be subject to his advice being "second guessed" by the seller, or his attorney, who will be hired after a drinking session at the seller's favorite bar when his buddies, with little knowledge of real estate, all tell him how he was "swindled" by the buyer.I hope this adds some clarity. 

Please don't drink the Kool-Aid. 

It's expensive and the odour is most strong (a well ventilated area is a must), but being alcohol-based, it dries quickly and the odour dissipates in short order.The fact that it dries so quickly is what gives the good coverage.I just primed an old - previously varnished - linen last week ... one coat, no issues.

But again, he who carries the water takes the first drink.
