We recently bought a short sale 2nd home in Deltaville, VA which could make more $ than I will this year.....prompted the taking of a closer look at our portfolio and realized the need to add revenue producing assets for our family. 

I decided it wasn't the product for me.

However, you may be able to sell your % to the other investors as one sale and go forward with a 1031... if the corporate structure can handle it appropriately, if you can say/demonstrate that your intent when you went into the deal was to hold the property for productive use and now that the groups direction has changed you are selling your portion to purchase other property to be held for investment.And if the improvements to the property would not cross the threshhold of "creating inventory" and could be classified as ensuring best and highest use.

As a former bank regulator for more than 7 years, I can tell you that if regulators have already identified a risk, discussed it internally, then produced a formally issued document and press release that they were in agreement on internally, the issue has usually already been around for a while, and is probably past where it should be!!!

I bought a great asset that produces stable monthly cash flows and appreciated significantly.

My background in print design and creative marketing has definitely helped me streamline these campaigns, and working at one of the largest print houses here in CO has greatly helped in regards to cost of farming out addresses and designing/producing the mail pieces, and even with postage.Feel free to reach out to me and throw any questions my way! 

An appreciation value would be added to the original purchase price of the home.It is set to the going rate in the area.7) Over the term, I work with the client to help rebuild their credit.I do require that they produce a copy of their credit score and report twice a year.

Home improvement products, Real Estate, encyclopedias, it doesn't matter those are standard cold call numbers since the dawn of man or something.If you know them it's easier.
