Here is the how I would explain it to a kindergartner:The true power of a 1031 exchange is the ability for an investor to meet their investment objectives without losing equity to taxation.With more money they can buy larger, multiple, or more productive properties.What is the alternative?

I was soooo obsessed with the gator method and basically for me it was the shiny object syndrome I guess, I went from so obsessed to just completely lost interest in it.

You get as much objective information about them so that you can make an informed decision. 2.

I'm not always opposed to some of these measures, but I am objectively looking at how this will affect investing decisions.I agree, the reclassification of vacation rentals to commercial property is the big issue I'm watching.

Operators tell me that the objection to the costs are from the children of the elder who don’t want mom to spend down her savings, fearing that she will run out of money and that there will not be any left to pass down to the kids.

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.

While this review appears comprehensive and objective at first glance, I see a concerning pattern.Looking through William Ferr's posting history on BiggerPockets, there's an unmistakable pattern of consistently promoting Jonathan Halves and his training course The Land Method and his Land Riches Blueprint, while criticizing other educators.

The bank valuation should obviously be a useful objective view on the valuation of the property.

If that area doesn’t align with my objectives, what’s the next town that’s about to “take off?”
