@Leon G. whether or not you decide to go fsbo or use a realtor you'll need to use a QI to perform the 1031 exchange for you if you want to tax on the gain from your sale (and depreciation recapture). 

These accountants believe that purchasing from a related party is fine as long as it is an arms- length documented market-consistent transaction.   

These are also the banks that are more commonly relationship lenders and will allow your originations to out pace your balance sheet if you are consistently able to execute on the projects they fund for you.

You will have to gather more accurate operating costs (vacancy loss, taxes, utilities, insurance, mgmt fees, maintenance, HOA) to best determine potential future performance.

Once you have consistent, high levels of cash flow then consider the “company vehicle”.

We will see more investors walk away because the properties aren't performing well, but other investors will pick them up and the quantity will remain high.Rates are anyone's guess.

Here’s the TRUTH - If the entire Federal bureaucracy shut down tomorrow, within two years ll NECESSARY functions would be performed by private sector and private charities, the charities  which would have more than enough money from donations from the public no longer paying taxes to fund the bureaucrats, the congressman and Senators $25 million each in “speaking fees” the waste and fraud currently being exposed that has the political establishment scared to death, as well as not having their savings robbed by the inflation caused by the currency “printing press”.  

To achieve this, I’m planning to scale rapidly by performing a couple of syndications to acquire a larger portfolio.I currently have a portfolio of 17 properties, but to justify labor costs and create a sustainable structure, I need to expand quickly.

If it is later found to be the work was not performed according to code or properly repaired, we will seek damages from your firm since you knowingly hid this from us and would not allow us to understand the extent of the damage which occurred behind walls.Thank youThis way you are putting them on notice that you were aware damage occurred and they did not allow you to properly inspect it.

It sounds like there's no consistent place to go to given daily rate changes, quotas to hit etc?
