They do public debt funds, apartment complexes (in Southern California and the Southeast), car washes and self storage.

I have been screwed out of funds by home owners and I have received "tips" from home owners so it all works out in the wash for me.

above and behind picture frames - vases washed.  

This was due to finance arbitrage like many retail bankruptcies, They were selling furniture/TV/appliances for 2 decades financed at 3-4% and borrowing at 2-3%, now their billions in floating rate notes are at 7-8% but only getting the fixed 3-4% for the washing machines etc They lost 77 mil last year and rising fast so had to Chapter 11 to stop the bleeding.Next 1-2 years will be very interesting in markets/CRE etc.

But as some one who was raised in this business has owned 3 brokerages I can tell you that only 10 to 20% of agents make 80% of the revenue wash out rate is high.. with Wholesaling I suggest that only 5 % who try it are still doing it in a year and in any given market there will be a handful of wholesalers that do pretty good to very good the rest just trundle along now granted if they make 50 to 100k a year in the mid west and were used to making 20 to 30k in their JOB this is a big improvement over where they were at..

LA County is going to wash their hands and say that it’s all up to the Judicial Council on when and how to process paper work since they are in charge of court proceedings.

To expand on this, and to peg when a person can just be "The Owner" and wash hands of being IN the day-2-day.... 

Car washes are extremely profitable, too. 

Finding a place within 5-10 minutes of Barnes, STLCOP, Wash U, etc seems to be a great idea.   

I would then make him my renter and kick the can down the road to figure out how to gift it to him.It seems as if the 1031 exchange fees might be a wash with the taxes?
