DSTs are 1031 eligible and can work great for people looking to avoid tax on their sale and just want hands off real estate plus the income. 

IF someone handed me $100k I would......put a 25% downpayment on a rental property and rent it out for 3 to 5 years and refinance and pull out my equity out, and put it into a larger rental property as a down payment...

However, if you are a now realtor knocks on a door or leave a flyer with no hand bill permit or local solicitation permit you may be fined by that city in most towns or cities.

I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and work hard to create an unearned income machine for myself.Any advice on the best way to go about purchasing this property?

On the other hand, we would start to lose our $500,000 exemption (we are currently at about $422,000 in profit using the redfin estimate).

I've been listening to Cashflow ninja and the real estate guys about the infinite banking concept and I would like to find some first hand knowledge.

That's the extent of my 'hands on' experience.

The loan works like this:  You could get offered a line of credit based upon your cash on hand. 

Hi Franky,If you are looking for a smaller, hands-on company with a more all-inclusive approach, reach out to me or someone at my company, Blue Meadow Properties.I have also personally met Jerry Ta with PropertyCare.

The seller walks away with cash in hand and a 30-year tax-deferral.
