You have a solid plan in place, now it is just time to execute the plan when your time allows you to talk to companies in other markets to help you hit these goals.

What happens if you can't stand the "team" or staff?

And by the way, I will not sell just because I am tired but I will be executing a carefully planned exit strategy to minimize tax implications based on my situation then.Otherwise, consider regular letters/postcards so at least you finance the post office :-)

If you can show that you intended to keep it as a rental long term, then you could execute a 1031, but most people like to have held a prop as a rental for a year or more to be on the good side of the IRS. 

Do your homework, talk to many, make your own decisions then execute.

It is not that easy, there is competition out there, as an investor myself I do borrow from time to time, speed of execution and rates / costs are the 2 things I look at obviously.

Even though my attorney helped me tweak some unfavorable language and clarify some sections, neither mentioned this clause which has saved me on two different deal.INSPECTION PERIOD: The Buyer shall have thirty (30) days from the date of execution of formal contract to perform inspections and examine the records of the Property.

Plus, all the prior executed ORIGINAL Allonges/Note Endorsements that correspond with each Assignment of Mortgage, again, the ORIGINAL recorded copy.

As bad as the publicly traded SFR REITS have been beat up by Wall Street since their IPOs for poor execution of their models and failure to make it into the black at their quarterly reports, I don't think anyone is going to make the argument that they are less competent than subprime borrowers.Absent some massive scale fraud or global collapse of the US or worldwide economy (and again, we did both of these things with subprime, so its not entirely out of the question), I think that the securitization of rental cash flows will provide more liquidity to a market that could certainly use it, and have a net positive effect on the economy.
