I'd add to that list "The Perfect Investment" by Paul Moore.

A good sheetrock guy will make the walls look perfect with skim coats

Makes perfect sense.

Townhouses are perfectly fine.

Well, looks like i got my first contact after that mailing, it is a 3 bedroom 2 bathrooms over 1400 sqft with a lot of over 18000 sqft, it is worth between 580K and 600K after repairs, it could be worth more because there is the possibility of dividing the lot in 2 and build another property, i`ll probably go see it Saturday or Sunday, it is an off market property so nobody knows about it and the owner wants to go FSBO, perfect spot, there are tenants but they are very nice apparently and aware of the sale!

For small portfolios managed by yourself mobile apps like Landlordy, PropertyBuddy or Housters might be a perfect fit.

Hi @Bob McKee, Contrary to what many of you may have read on the internet partial 1031 Exchange transactions are perfectly acceptable.
