You can take yourself out or severely set yourself back if things go awry.I've bounced around the investment mortgage industry for 5 years. 

That's pretty industry standard. 

I'm a small business owner in the food industry; however, real estate is where I want to be full time.

It's just very simple, clear, long established and industry accepted, and has significant knowns for how any enforcement or default type actions are handled. 

Would my previous industry experience (property management, acquisitions, asset management, Realtor) improve my chances of qualifying for a DSCR loan?

Some examples of properties with high asset reclassification include medical clinics and hospitals with technical machinery and labs, grocery stores with machinery, shopping centers with rainwater drainage systems and large parking areas, industrial manufacturing facilities with advanced equipment, apartment buildings in suburban areas with swimming pools, golf courses, tennis courts and large parking areas for tenants.Here’s a list of the average amount of assets that can be reclassified into shorter asset life classes based upon the type of property.

The first thing to know is that the 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary industry has no licensing or regulatory body. 

Agree 100%, trust and transparency are what set professionals apart in this industry.

These are the different properties that are included in the 1031 exchange requirement: commercial buildings such as offices, schools and different establishments that are important for the population, as well as single family rentals, multi family rentals, industrial facilities, and even raw lands are included in the like-kind.

I wish I had known this was possible 20 years ago, but learned of it when I joined the industry 11 years ago.
