Like working out at a Gym to build muscle you must leave one comfort zone for heavier weights, e.g. put down the 20# dumbbells and pick up the 25# dumbbells and then the 30# dumbbells.1031 Exchanging is no different.

Make sure you meet the pet (or your PM) and make sure you have a weight limit.

My problem is my buyer's list is heavily weighted with full-time investors, and in order to make a profit I would need to find the people that want to buy a nice, new house in a good school district for around a 1% rent to purchase ratio (i.e. people with extra cash looking to put it into real estate for retirement purposes).

That feature alone is worth it's weight in gold. 

Anyone out there that can help me network with some heavy-weight and seasoned investors in the valley, I would be very grateful.

A 2001 Grand Caravan can tow 1,800 lbs and has a GVWR of 5,550 lbs, with a self weight of 3,999 lbs.A 2001 Tundra has 7,800 lbs of towing capacity, a GVWR of 6,200 lbs and a self weight of 4,644 lbs.Even a tiny 2001 Ford Ranger can tow 5,620 lbs.How is that minivan going to outperform a pickup truck, in any way related to rehabbing and maintaining real estate?

Getting rich is just like losing losing weight.

Because our inventory is heavily weighted with one-bedrooms, we don't have very many children and all of our tenants with children either have stay-at-home relatives or school jobs so that child care won't be an issue.

Without really digging to deeply in the numbers, this could show that average wages being weighted more heavily on the higher end of the wage spectrum than the lower.The median shows that there are more people earning a lower wage, which is why the median is significantly lower between 1990 and 2018, with the gap from the average numbers and lower numbers widening. 

I don't fault them for bad decisions, but I do require they carry their own weight.
