You have to buy more with your 1031 than your portion is worth.

Also turns out we had some important mail go there etc… so civil correspondence ended up worth it.  

The house I will get is in a lower income area, currently worth $95-100k, and she still owes about $25k on it.

I would never work with them again because the small discounts just is not worth the headache.

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"

This is a very valuable skillset to have in your arsenal as an investor that can dramatically increase your net worth in a short period of time if the strategy is applied correctly.  

The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tools are especially helpful for tracking property performance.One downside is that it can be a bit pricey for smaller portfolios, but the features have been worth it for me.

The mortgage is $1400 and the house is worth $250k.I did tell him if it is okay for him,I could take up the mortgage and he says he would get back to me as he also as a brother and uncles to talk with.The house is close to my work place as well.Please, does anyone has a thought on this?

And how does the 10% Shop Card work—was it worth it overall?

Not sure what the property is currently worth.
