Do not promote any products unless they allow it, and only when they allow it.7.  

@Michael Heal , welcome to the site.  

@Lauren SpeidelYou are correct Lauren you cannot do a 1031 exchange but you can do the following:1) opportunity zone deferral Or2) pay just 15% tax on your net gain and take the rest of the money to invest it in Puerto Rico it anywhere else There are many ways to avoid or defer capital gain taxes but people know only 1031 exchanges rules because that’s what brokers promote to double dip on commissions

Then as Mark Forest and others are promoting, you can ignore the asbestos in the attic until such time as you need to undertake a renovation or pierce the ceiling of the living space below.  

I understand that many of the guru types speak at these meetings, pitch or no pitch, it's still promotional.

I think that I am not supposed to promote companies here. 

People that promote that as a plus usually are people trying to unload unprofitable properties on lazy/novice investors. 

The programs are promoted as a way to improve the quality of rental housing and cut back on blighted properties and/or those with code violations. 

I want to say this upfront so it is understood that I am not promoting anyone who has paid me money.If I was going to invest in MF passively, I would start with Crowdstreet - Darren Powderly (the many in charge over there) is a CCIM that understands the space.

This could become problematic if people jump to the last post without reading through the other posts and end up posting their version of the same thing that was already posted many times before.The most prominent feature of this version is the right hand column which promotes the BP Blog, the books, and the next webinar.
