You are exchanging your time, to do something that you would not normally do, for money.

It's difficult to give you a precise dollar value of what type of reserves you will need---as the number will be influenced greatly by the type of rehab needed...Here is some advice to consider:- Don't try fund/do all the rehab at once---do it in stages for a more affordable and manageable property transition

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "goes into the exchange," but here are the requirements.

And this is precisely the principle that staging professionals follow.

Another where you give him some up front cash in exchange for a lower price.

Im looking into selling my duplex and using the 1031 Exchange to purchase a property that brings in greater cash flow. 

I am also paid 8% of the rents in exchange for managing it.

Truth is me and the people I met there and exchanged numbers with, all came out with more questions than answers and with little to zero confidence that we were ready to begin flipping houses.

If anyone needs help on projects (rehabs, acquisitions, cold calling, etc) I am happy to lend some time in exchange for some mentorship.  

Like searching note exchanges vs buying tapes from a bank?
