Are there any tried and true/ industry standard sites, forums, etc. where those looking to avoid capital gains look for investment properties?  

Or do their job and come up with a new strategy to get qualified tenants in.I know quite a few people in the property mgmt, and there are certainly some great ones, but also ALOT of lazy ones, just like in many different service industries. particularly with larger companies with lots of employees

I'd like to pursue sales, and for a while I thought I'd be looking in the tech industry.

LolCR is a little sleepier than I'm used to, but I like that it's pretty much stable, folks are nice, and it has diversification in industry.

@Ed Henson REI Nation has one of the best reputations in the industry:)You may also want to look at the Detroit market!

I hope this give you a better insight as to how the industry works. 

Someone will try to tackle this industry--we're motivated to be the ones to take a shot at it.Our product and experience are not fit for everyone and it's, by no means, as great as an experience as we'd hope.

In a nutshell it is a cash flow industry with high yield (6% to 11% net pretax) affordable at USD$30K to $70K on average, and most importantly services are transparent.

You have a lot of empathy that many in this industry lack.

I've been in the construction industry since i was a teenager and thats a long time ago.
