First off, exclusive access to the MLS 24/7, the ability to create other income streams in the RE Business, i.e. representing buyers and sellers, and the added benefit of knowing the ins and outs of a real estate contract and how to negotiate in my parties favor.

Unfortunately, either way it involves a) trusting a third party, like a syndicator; b) landlording; or c) dealing with a property manager.

The second house we spent $10,000 remodeling both bathrooms and the third house we spent about $17,000.

Looks far enough away from Panama Beach and the party scene.

What employees make up your acquisitions team (in-house and third party)?

@Bob Malecki,As Carl elaborated this proposed "swap" is a direct transaction between disqualified parties (wife's IRA selling shares to husband's IRA).

In MD either an attorney OR one of the parties named in the instrument must certify that they prepared it. 

Today I run a $50M portfolio that consists of my own investments & 3rd party management.
