I had an investor contact me yesterday and ask what are the most important things to know about a 1031 E?  

Good day,      I have a question about building a good investors list as go to's for deal.

We bought our first two houses as light fixers in desirable areas, as defined by the base Housing Office and at an E-5 O-1-2 housing allowance, that we could improve over the years of our tour.  

Simple formula to put into the Excel (actually Google Sheets but who's keeping track) but I'm not sure how to capture additional contributions I make that aren't captured in the Schedule E; things like extra mortgage payments and capital expenditures that have to get depreciated over time but that I paid for up front out of my cash reserves. 

We also have all the e-buyers in our market who are actively buying so competition is fierce. 

It cost me roughly $2300 for 11 dual pane windows (low-e) of various sizes (not including a sliding glass door).

Since I am not intending to purchase a house or have them list a house for me..     

The strip between Poplar and Union from E Parkway to downtown is a HUGE area seeing a ton of growth since the effects of the recession started to well, recede. 

@Eric E. did you go through with the sub to deal?

According the terms of the lease, he is in default such that I  COULD immediately lock the doors today and all FF&E becomes my property.
