We have education in real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance.  

We managed to bring the property down in price, overcome objections, and navigate the eviction battle, and in the end, it paid off.The key takeaway here is that if you’re a true cash buyer who can work with private lenders, you can survive long, drawn-out processes like this.

As investors we want to maximize revenue but to your point that still requires applying common sense and basic ethical principles.

While I don't object to spending money to do one's due diligence, I don't know if $500 is called for when you can get very high quality syndication groups/meetups/information for free.

Hi,I am planning on a potential 1031 (very early stages) and would like to see what the reinvestment goal would be to maximize the befits of the 1031.property I would like to exchange purchase price $515,000sell price est: $725,000current principle balance: $350,700Interest rate 3.25Current Mortage is $2300 and it rents for $4000. 

We typically do 4-5 years interest only while paying down the principle balances over time.

Does anyone have an objection as to why I should continue with these services?

I expressed my objection to the rate.
