That is what I originally said if you descend from your high horse and go back and read what I wrote earlier in the thread.

Can't put the cart before the horse unless fate provides you a windfall.Here's the worst case scenario of this - I had a wonderful gal I was teaching basic cashflow investing to.

After that came a home on 20 acres planted to alfalfa that I renovated and moved into, and I partnered on a commercial building with my broker, with a couple more in the works.My interests include farming, cattle, horses, hunting, fishing, poker, and R.E. investing of course.It is great to meet all of you and I can tell this is a classy site, glad I can be a part of it.

If you go FSBO make sure your attorney holds the earnest money, not some agent friend of the buyer who has no horse in the race at all.

I am an Arabian horse breeder, and I have an eye for the potential in horse properties, that is definitely a niche I would like to explore.

If you are getting fair market value and there are no excessive marketing costs involved why look a gift horse in the mouth.

@Marco Santarelli Same here but sometimes you can't lead a horse to water and they still end up buying some Ghetto property for 25k ....I will tell you who wins in all this its HOMEDEPOT fix up Ghetto property,, Ghetto property gets trashed,, New buyer thinks Hey for 25k I can make it work property is sold to local rehabber for 5k with 10k to Home Depot to get it up to speed property is sold for 25k to the next out of area buyer and add detergent rinse cycle and repeat..

I could be wrong, so read what he wrote to get it straight from the horse's mouth.

Mostly, I miss the beating the dead horse video!

You could, for example, sell a heard of cattle and buy other cattle or horses and do a 1031.
