@Jacob Thompson yes I've read about the Robert K trade 4, 5, 6, etc properties for an apt building using 1031 exchange.. that has also been a strategy I've put in my tool belt as a possible route.

The largest issue I see is the gray area found in "brokering a property" as there may be a need in the case of a contract assignment to offer the specifics of a property (i.e 3br/ 2ba  1500 sqft @ property address).

There is also the event with Robyn Thompson coming up that I plan to attend.

Thanks @Anthony Thompson!

@David Thompson that sounds great and I would appreciate it very much!

As often said by financial strategist, Robert Gray, "Do the math and the math will tell you what to do."

@Kyle Gray thanks for your help!

@David Thompson very interesting!  

Maybe you could find some gray area if you have another agent represent you and give you a referral fee after the transaction.

@David Thompson, thanks for welcoming me to BP!
