Caleb, Hello, the best contacts that I've made have been because of my participation in KREIA.

Will they participate in the decision making?

If you are aware that the tenant is not operating a home business but simply performing the functions of his job while inside his home (and this does not involve increased traffic, paying customers, commercial enhancments made to the unit), why would a landlord be concerned, as long as the tenant is paying the rent on time?

If the investment portion of the property participates in a fully tax-deferred 1031 exchange, doesn't the unrecaptured depreciation transfer to the replacement property?

That would improve participants skills and a great learning environment.
