I have spent the past few months on this website listening to podcasts, reading blogs, and browsing the forums.

I have been browsing L+I  for information and it states about 15 to 20 days.Originally posted by @Eric Seo:I agree with Mike that it shouldn’t take long if it’s a licensed contractor.  

It's also just plain tedious to have to interface constantly with the custodian, and they can nickel and dime you to death on fees.

Though they have lots of info, strategies, and tools to help you succeed, it's nothing you can't get for free just by browsing the forums here.

If you are browsing properties on the MLS then open houses are a good way to view property without agent representation.

Real estate FOMO is very real and I get that, but browsing this forum shows that there are deals to be had all.the.time. in all markets, and all market cycles.So if you're comfortable with the risk that comes with having the debt, I say go for it.

In this post - I will attempt to highlight some of the things you should be looking for as you browse around town looking for a property manager. 1) Are they members of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM)?

I like the simple interface on Rentec Direct.

Unfortunately, I can't go up and look at the post for the number because of this awful BP interface/website).That really makes very little sense.   

the Qualified Intermediary (QI) is a term used by the IRS to define the unrelated 3rd party who documents the 1031 exchange takes custodianship of the proceeds from the sale to the purchase and interfaces with the escrow officers on both sides.
