If they are too busy or too lazy to answer a call or send a short email, what else are they too busy for?

@ Felipe, If you still manage properties in New Britain, I would like to learn more about your business.

The most important thing is to know the details of your local program like the back of your hand, then look for loopholes.Just to give you and the other BP'ers a deeper handle on why some TDR programs work and some don't, I just uploaded an excellent study on the topic to my FilePlace at http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/ChrisNewma...

Some go out of business.

For example, $50,000 loan at 10% paid out evenly over 10 years.Like I said, super new to this part of the business, so trying to wrap my head (and spreadsheets) around it.

The property that you sell and then purchase through a 1031 Exchange must be held for rental, investment (capital appreciation), or used in a business. 

Hey Stephen, I know this was a while ago, but are you still in the business?

I checked the Better Business Bureau for complaints, I checked the NJ State Attorney General consumer division to ensure he was licensed, I checked every reference he gave by visiting sites and speaking with the homeowners. 

I’ve had most luck with signs in front of my plaza and word of mouth - networking at Chamber of Commerce and chatting with other business owners in the area.
