If you want safety, pay off the property.

We do have a tenant in ours but have closed off the pass through door.

I have a two questions with regards to a 1031 exchangeThe first one is if I were to sell a property for 500,000 its paid off can I buy 3 new properties that cost 200 thousand each or does it need to be one property greater than 500,000?   

Networking in these groups will help you build connections and possibly uncover off-market deals.

Would you partner with her on a deal where you were buying the property off the MLS?

I wish I could pull something off like that... basically, its a fee to make sure you don't waste the lenders/broker's time.

Pay off debt .

Looking to bolster my off market lead flow.

Now taht real estate has gone back to the good ole days of not being an appreciation machine and a good investor needs sound fundamentals in managing and overseeing the properties - now you are given the wave of "creative finance" which comes off as its easy to get a home but it will be interesting to see how these people are fairing in a few years of mismanagement of these assets. 

If you’re truly convinced the country is going “socialist” then you should probably buy gold and turn off the news.
