Hi @Lori Allred, if you’re an accredited investor there is an investment product called a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) that might be beneficial for you to learn about if you decide to perform a 1031 exchange.

If you live, work, worship, volunteer, or attend school in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties over in PA ...than check out TruMark Financial Credit Union.

Sandy, if you have determined that further collection efforts will be futile you can de-board the loans.  

So if you invest in another state with a "series" from your Delaware of Texas Series LLC then you might lose some of the protections that you thought you had.  

Hello, everyone I'm from Wilmington, Delaware and I've been listening to most of the podcasts (I'm not going to pretend like I heard all of therm lol.)

I work in syndicated real estate and have placed many clients into Delaware Statutory Trusts in that market in 2015, but I also removed one property from our approved list of DSTs at the time and pulled $2M in equity into other investments after I visited it (which virtually no one in my industry does).

@Anton De Vries this is genius.

Before purchasing the property, my biggest concern was the pool that was de-plastering and chipping away in chunks.

@Ryan ProkopetzI feel I need to qualify @Peter Crisp's portrayal of NB a little, but letting you know he picked one of the most challenging parts of the province (Bathurst, baie de chaleur) in which to invest (Saint John  would be next on that list).
