Additionally, Allen county allows you to use the lesser of assessed values based on either the comparable sales, or the income approach.

A drop-and-swap allows investors to drop out of their current ownership structure, break away from partners and buy a property on their own.

@Marty BoardmanThat statistic is so misleading because you were not allowed to foreclose the prior year in many locations.That would be like lowering the drinking age to 18 and saying teenage drinking is up 80%.Foreclosures are at all time lows and will continue to trend up.

There are so many rentals on the market at any given time which allows potential tenants to be selective. 3.

There are provisions in the code that allow that.The key to a consolidation exchange is that you want to cluster the sales as close together as possible. 

This was on KSL as well and the sellers were very very motivated.This year I have also purchased two single-family homes that I am rehabbing and both allow for lot splits so I will have a renovated home to sell or rent and a free and clear lot with each one.

If you find one who has rental properties and has first hand experience that can be VERY helpful.The conflict of interest is a common question, but really a non-issue if you consider the size of the market and how many properties an agent can buy.My team and I work with a lot of investors and yes I personally buy a handful of properties every year, but there are about 30,000 transactions every year in Milwaukee.

This group does allow syndicators to present deals, so your father would get deal flow, but he would also benefit from a wide group of other passive investors discussing the deal and sharing their thoughts.
