Check out my profile, and my comments on other's posts here and you'll get a feel for my POV and orientation (hint: I'm very pro long term buy and hold in SF.)I'm swamped next week, as I just closed on a duplex+ inlaw in Bayview, but would be open to meeting with you a week or two out to exchange "war stories" ;)   There are also local meetups that J.

I did an exchange about a year ago into a property that is five buildings, all on separate tax parcels.

My question is I would like to find them the private money and insert myself into the deal in exchange for piece of the profits or charge a higher percent than the private money charges.

I was wondering if, tax wise, if it would be smarter to rent the house I am about to purchase after I do some rehab to it and then fix up my other rental and sell it so I can do a 1031 exchange. 

I have spent many years studying the stock exchange(s) and eventually I came to the realization that one thing, and one thing only, determines the direction of the market: the behavior of people.  

If I'm able to help after all, I plan to ask for a share in the home equity and proceeds of the sale in exchange for my advocacy work and help with property management. 

Maybe that is not too far away and allowing her to live there rent free in exchange for allowing her to continue residing there until her death seems like another option.

He holds for two years and then if he leaves the area 1031 exchanges where he is moving to if he likes that area for investment.People need to remember not everyone wants to watch over residential tenants and deal with the crap.

This is precisely why my husband and I left the market and returned to our hometown of Chicago.

In exchange, he can help you with comps.
