They also have amazing customer service which makes the monthly payment model worth it for me.

Not at all and history shows elsewise, but I don't see this going anywhere than yet another pointless internet argument--so good luck!

I'll quantify, suburbs of Rochester, NY in Monroe county east of the Genessee river, see 5-10+% appreciation for the next 4 years as measured Zillow home price index.Appreciation off a low absolute value really voids the argument.

The parts behind the paywall will allow us to focus on our paying customer - the LPs.

During the mortgage crisis i worked as a loan officer for a very short period , in that time frame i saw how shady that part of the business was, customers where signing documents blind and for that very reason most lost their homes, everyone was taking full advantage of the situation and trying to get a wealthy as fast as possible before the party was over.What i dont like working with loan brokers/officers is that there is a lot of jargon in their paper work that they only understand , i wouldnt want to get stuck in bad mortgage deal .

The argument you would try to make if you want to do a 1031 is that you were holding the property for appreciation. 

As a licensed mortgage broker I'm further compliantly (and confidently) able to provide mortgage insight and direct the customer to the most suitable lending partner or program.  

Told to have contractors sign the customers contract .

You're argument Mike is the typical one I hear that everyone should self-manage.

Zillow will also offer climate history of a property alongside custom tailored insurance policies and carriers.
