A partner was handling the exchange and was considering some replacement choices that turned out to have problems.I'm aware of the DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) option but the ones I've seen have large upfront loads even apart from other fees (though we've been offered commission discounts).I read a post here mentioning Virtua Partners, which states on their site: 'Frequently, investors pay a 15% load, which reduces the amount of money available for investment and damages investor returns.

I am interested in reducing my renters carbon foot print, without thinking about it.That's all I can think of at this time, I'm sure I'll think of questions and ask 'em to ya, so keep your eyes on me!

@Jennifer MacDonaldDoing another pressure test will help ease your anxiety. 

Someone bringing cash to the table doesn't have to get all their ducks in a row and get through all the lender requirements - which can run into snags.Because of the increased chance of closing, and reduced time required to close, many sellers will take a lower offer price if it is all cash.

Whereas this overhead could be reduced substantially if automated. 

Here it is below.Loan$262,500- $85,000   - My 85,000 would be put into this loan - $113,000 - Father 113,000 would be put into this loan - $12,000   - Father 12,000 would be put into this loan -$26,000    - Father wants to put additional money into this loan from his equity-$26,500    - My 45,000 dollars worth of credit cards would get reduced my $26,500_________________________=$262,500 I will have $18,000 dollars in credit card debt. 

From what I understand of Jordan's approach is the "savings" comes from using the float by reducing your debt balance by the amount of your monthly expenses.

Expired Listings -- knocking on those doors or calling them is not a cold call -- it is a WARM call, with an Expired listing you have Intel - information about the seller and their property ---- you know -The attempt to sell their home was a failureYou know the  DOM - how many Days it has been On the MarketReal estate broker/agent failed to sell the property Remarks on the listing  - you've read the remarks on the listing (must sell, needs TLC, some owner financing, won't last long, rent to own, move in condition -- etc), this information tells you, the investor much about the property and the seller  - use this info when negotiatingPrice change - how often has the price been reduced Make more warm calls, negotiate, make offers and do it 

If you're not comfortable handling the transaction directly, your cost to dramatically reduce your risk is the 6% it would cost to hire an agent.  

Do not take it out of the security deposit - you reduce your leverage/security at lease end.
