How do you find REI in England vs USA, ignoring exchange rates? 

Send me a personal message if you'd like to exchange contact info and work together on learning all we can. 

I don't mean to be rude but if you are struggling with the idea of having someone give you their social in exchange for your property that costs thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars then it may not be for you.

@James Danchus  I spoke with a local wholesaler and offered to aid him with tedious tasks (put up signs, drive to courthouse for probate listing, etc.) in exchange for strategies and knowledge in the industry. 3 months later we now have a partnership and wholesale together. 

First, I always sign the lease and exchange money for keys all at the same time.Not sure why you consider this "ill gotten". 

In exchange, you might offer them a piece of the syndicator's carve-out.

Crypto is the currency of the future!

@David Crumley...why not just buy a commercial asset with 30% leverage, 10-15 year note, 7-10% cap.  10-15 years from now you would have tripled your investment assuming zero inflation and you can focus on other ventures.  10-15 years later leverage against the property or 1031 exchange into a larger asset.  

Do a 1031 Exchange to a wife that agrees with you!

5) Don't stone me as a new investor, but should I look into a 1031 Exchange to defer the taxes?
