A key component to successful rehabbing is identifying every aspect of the process where you have control.

I could see this as being a detriment to rents or increasing turn-over.Neighborhood: Condo's in this area are packed because it is a cheap place to live in a upscale and booming area.Property Condition: Completely rehabbed - new laminate flooring, appliances, carpet etc. 

There is the real estate component which qualifies for 1031 treatment and there is the personal property which may only be exchanged for like personal property.If you're simply wanting to go buy new furniture out of your 1031 that's not as easy unless you close your purchase and use an lOC on the new property to purchase the personal property.

Good luck out there.Actually, I was seeking a list of strategies and their variations that will allow me to do deals via the 2 components of the HML funding deals at 65% an any sellers that I come across that are willing to wheel & deal w/a 35% carryback for what I for see as "lump sum now - cash over time - and a lump sum later."

If you want to be more hands on, go the JV route and make sure that the learning/education component is part of the deal.

PLUS you will be rewarding the Tenant's loyalty by giving them a discount on their rent.When figuring options like yours, you have to balance all of the components. 

I would say no matter where you go, I personally would concentrate on cash flow as much as possible and/or properties that have a forced appreciation component. 

Reading about these important professional components of a deal, I can see where they are all necessary.

I love and will forever value the lessons I have learnt by not having the successes hoped for in this program- I have come to the understanding that anyone that has the secret formula for wealth creation with “none of your own money” (which is not true because everyone who has ever made a deal using his system has had to fork out $100’s-$1000’s extra for the unknowns, but his psychological stab at you is that “it’s minimal compared to what the deal is worth” and can make you feel ungrateful...lol), wouldn’t reveal it without a significant return on the education component of that process which in reality has a success rate (the number of students who get deals) I believe is minimal.
