Paid off real estate cash flows extremely well.

There is some financing available but it's rarely used, as it's extremely difficult to make a deal profitable given the lending conditions.

This was extremely frustrating since he charges a pretty penny for closings.Based off my experience I would not recommend him for a 1031 transaction.

So cash flow isn’t the biggest concern.

For example, if you have no experience in land development - that is extremely complex and risky compared to owning NNN rentals. 

Because your statements are extremely misleading (unintentionally I suppose).

I've consulted a few times over the years with planners and with the way I buy properties, my liquidity requirements, and my concerns about about how government overspending affects the future, makes me a poor candidate for IRAs and 401(k)s with the stifling regulations.   

This is a touchy subject.If you observed specific concerning behaviors during interactions, such as rudeness, aggression, or disrespect for property, these could potentially be valid reasons for rejection if documented properly.You should add one very important things to do on your checklist, past landlord references and it must be legit and find out why they aren't there any longer.

Some say it increases bookings, while others mention concerns about damage and additional cleaning costs.

I'm more concerned on if it's going to be a good deal or not.
