Going in it felt overwhelming so I decided to look for alternatives that can have the same capabilities but that comes already built up and ready to go.I now realize that Podio may be the best alternative since the type of software that I'm imagining will be very expensive for us for now.Thanks for the help Collin!

If your sellers that the capability to replace a note with cash from their own resources the 1031 can go ahead even with owner financing. 

If anything, your MBA may give you a leg up so you can really grow.I would think that would be a lot more interesting a job and that you'd develop a lot more networking connections as a commercial agent than as an analyst somewhere.As a commercial agent, you'd be putting your name out there with all the big players and you might have a much easier time hooking up with a mentor that may share some of his strategies with you.I think the MBA would have value when dealing with some of the larger corporations when you're working these corporate contacts on the commercial side.

The pricing for non-performing notes has increased the last few years, but I’ve still been steady buying because:1) When you buy from sellers you have relationships with, there will always be inventory that makes sense.2) I buy based on the borrower’s ability to pay versus a focus on the property’s FMV, so pricing has increased but so have the borrower’s ability to pay in certain cases.3) Pricing has gone up but so has FMV’s around the country if you have to take back a property.4) Last point is that there will always be sellers looking to liquidate their portfolio for whatever reason and folks, like myself, will be there to help this occur.It feels like we are at a point when players are jumping out of the market due to lack of inventory.
