I'm reading an application that sounds as if my personal assets would back the loan.

And 1031-ing small deals is really a fools errand: the only person making money is your real estate agent.

We have found - from personal experience - that these courses offer general knowledge that often do not apply to your state or local area. 

In the worst case, I've seen contracts where LPs are made to personally guarantee the loan.

Just to be a good person and have good karma. 

(It does not have to be empty of personal property).  

The reviews are tied to the agent because he or she is the person that provided the service.

@Kristi KandelI was just letting this person know the reality of their situation.

We all love the idea of the elusive off market deal, but if you are just a person who buys real estate rather than someone who has a real estate business, don't get cute.

The personal credit card options, such as the Amex Gold and Platinum, are perfect for frequent travelers as they quickly pay for themselves with travel perks and rewards.For real estate professionals, the new Hilton Honors Business Card earns 5X points on all purchases up to $100,000, while the Blue Business Plus Credit Card offers 2X points on all purchases up to $50,000.
