The way that it works is they are daily interest loans, generally have no payment requirements during the life of the loan, however the equity of the property gets ate up every day. the bank is probably not going to ask them to leave the property when equity position is upside down. short sale is usually an option via arms length transaction, or payments can generally be made for loan paydown and eventual refi once get loan to a more favorable LTV. feel free to PM if you have questions!

When using a 1031 exchange form, do you have to use the full cash amount you are getting from the sale transaction , or can you use just minimum required for the new purchase.

I started as a realtor with hopes of getting into investing also, but found that more of my time is tied up with buyer/ seller transactions that actually learning how to invest.

I would like to take advantage of paying no taxes on that transaction.

If you don't have a clear scope of work you will never finish a project.2. you cant cut corners with contractors (not all contractors are the same)3. the more education you have the better off you will be. 4. i don't want to do the work myself and creating a process is the best way to manage risk, and optimize productivity.5. * don't trust anyone with your due diligence.I have 2 properties that i purchase over 1 year ago and i'm finally putting 1 up for sale by the end month.

I would like to get some feedback from the real estate investor community. I'm reviewing the top 3 CRM's. Freedomsoft, REI Blackbook and Realeflow. Your participation is appreciated. Happy investing.

The two things that Derek said are safety essentials in any Lease transaction. 

I suspect the brokerage community is going to start telling their agents to turn in violators.one of my Oregon bird dogs just put a sign in the yard neighbor got pissed off as they wanted the house turned him into the state .. its kind of like getting a DUI  cost you about 10 to 15k first offense and a cease and desist..So then I went on to ask her about transactional funding as I have been a party to that a bunch of times and wanted to make sure I was legal.. she said NO way.. they deem that as some sort of fraud.. idea is the lender and wholesaler are in cahoots and scheming and marketing a property they dont' own and its prima facia evidence when they see two deeds in one day and a middle man payout.so bottom line you need to get into title and stay there for a few weeks BEFORE you market the property.. but as the regulator said.. they only respond to complaints right now.. so don't piss off any sellers or agents  LOL. 

They do billions of dollars a year in real estate transactions.
