Have you thought about offering participation or a referral fee to a broker who works in a commercial house in exchange for data?

I'd still like to continue purchasing and will continue, especially as I convert my properties in CA to Memphis using 1031 exchanges. 

Tax reasons imply's you have exchange money burning a hole in your pocket and you are motivated to buy something quick.  

I'm looking for somebody that has knowledge of investing in tax lien certificates, that would be willing to exchange email addresses with me, and maybe point me in the right direction as far as how to get started, and what I should expect in terms of startup costs, operation costs, and pitfalls.I'm essentially looking to create an income stream to help supplement my Real Estate Sales and PM Companies.

Exchange students?

@Mary lou L.I'm 54 yrs old.My father passed away when I was 21 and my brother was 20.Parents had some properties that we had to tend to.We  1031 exchanged some into other properties.Bought personal homes and then rented them out after moving on.Didnt get real serious about building wealth until 2006.I was 45 yrs old then, realizing retirement yrs were right around the corner.We accelerated real estate investment to retire comfortably.Accumulated 8 more rentals,flipped some,and started private lending.Yes I wish we were more aggressive in our 20's and 30's.But we didn't have anyone or BP to to teach us what or how to do it and why it was important.Lord knows our educational system did not teach us about wealth building for retirement.We learned it ourselves and and a lot of times it was the hard costly way.So in order to keep history from repeating itself we are consciously trying to educate our children and other youngsters  on the importance of financial literacy and the implementation of that knowledge.Father time stops for no one and doesn't care how you spend your life.It's up to us to create our financial future no matter what age we start.Good luck to all us old farts and young farts.

After a few hours of research and with some editing work provided by my CPA I sent her an email thanking her for response, sent condolences regarding her husband and then offered up a few ideas regarding a 1031 exchange and offering to pay for a CPA to investigate other options for her.  

Haven't bought my first investment property yet but my goal is to have 1 by June 30 and the 2nd by Dec 30.To network and learn more, I am looking to partner or offer my expertise in exchange to ride along, help find deals, etc...I am open to anything.  

I now want to do a 1031 exchange.

He carries 60 month notes at 9%, no money down and no points in exchange for a first mortgage.
