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.

If you have less land or management you may need more capital.The easiest way I know to explain "compensating factors" what a lender will look to in making a lending decision is what keeps the deal in balance as a good lending risk.Borrowing money is an economic transaction, there must be some exchange made by each party and each must bring something to the table.

(I say this as a plaintiff's lawyer) I'd probably get a lawyer involved and make sure any money you give her is in exchange for a full release, but I just wanted to say that your exposure looks pretty limited/non-existent to me.

You need to consider taxes in RE activities, active, hands off passive income, recapturing depreciation selling, 1031 exchanges?

Examples would be great or if you were to look at the 1st note on the water mark exchange link below, what are you looking at/for? 

You seem like your following the correct steps for rent collection, let the silent tenant know you will hand over the check in exchange for cash or cashiers check, or money order.. if not paid in full by Sunday you will file for eviction action on Monday. 

Has anyone used FCI Exchange, and if so, how did that work for you?

I agreed to do all repairs to their properties at $10/hr in exchange for free rent & all bills paid in an unfinished studio apartment.
