I hear two answers here both equally important. 1. the title company makes sure the transaction is secure by requesting documents from all parties (some of this is my experience)2. beforehand wholesaler/you builds trust and a relationship with all parties

The rest you then split 50:50 assuming you both contributed equally to the flip.

I find myself on a rollercoaster of emotions, constantly oscillating between terrified and equally excited. 

Equal opportunist.

The interest or percentage that each party acquires must have a value that is equal to or greater than the property value they sold as part of the 1031 Exchange (trading equal or up in value) if they want to defer all of their taxes.  

I was under the belief that all personal loans qualify for this. 

The property taxes combined on my 5 rent houses I have out of state, almost equal what I pay on my residential house here in the Austin area.

I'm a huge proponent of asset allocation and diversification, and I was just wondering if anyone has ever read about Harry Browne's Permanent Portfolio which splits investments equally between stocks, cash, long-term treasuries, and gold.

If all else is equal and there are no renovations needs, which option would you pick?
