The large wholesalers spend minimum 5 digits in hot markets where the profits are good like SoCal... one deal is so profitable like you've experienced that people ramp up the marketing efforts.Buying at 90% ARV from delusional sellers when hot foreign money that needs to be laundered is flooding your market makes profitability difficult and wastes a lot of time chasing the deals that everyone sees on MLS.Our company partnered up with a company that gets their lists in a more unique fashion than what is typically mentioned here and offer that to our clients for their mailing so they get better responses.It's better to dominate in a smaller market, than be a small fish in a competitive market is what I believe and what others have said as well in the podcasts.Even though our company offers direct mail and I've hooked people up, I think you need to re-visit your strategy and think about what you can do differently to improve the quality of your lists before mailing.

When caps compress 1% more in my area, I'm selling and exchanging to a new market entirely.  

The roommate wants to stay but claims that he paid the majority of the bills in exchange for the Security Deposit paid by the roommate who moved out.  

I dont want them exchanging contact info and me get excluded?

-BiggerPockets is a great medium for BiggerPockets members who are also real estate investors who also use Google Voice to network and exchange ideas on a tool like Google Voice that they use.Hopefully, that sheds some light on your three concerns :)

Such a joint venture would need to be very rigid in nature, and there could be no transactions or exchange of benefit between either party.Both parties would need to purchase an asset jointly on day one.  

You should be able to get a prorated tax-free exclusion for the 573 days that you lived in the property as your primary residence as long as those 573 days were during the last 60 months (five years).You would only qualified for a 1031 Exchange transaction if you had moved out of the property and held it as rental, investment or business use property for a period of time to show/demonstrate that you did in fact have the intent to hold the property for investment purposes.

The biggest foreign investments in commercial real estate in the United States last year relied heavily on China.

Exactly what is it you are going to exchange?
