Our financial adviser only recommends their own products for us to buy, ie., variable rate annuities.

But someone who has owned a piece of investment property (even one that accompanied a primary residence with the intent of holding and subsequently does only the minimum necessary to spin that off from a primary residence and intends to buy more property to hold for productive use would stand a good chance of doing a successful 1031.  

What you have going on now are the fix & flip buyers, or REO buyers are running out of product and are jumping into the note business and buying assets up like its an REO!  

If your goal is to advertise using the new securities exemptions there are quality products to help with this right now.

Thankfully, I only had to inspect the final product. 

That allows us to know who's providing good service and good product.I don't mean it as a "slam" but localized providers can only suggest and provide you with product in their own backyard.

Believe in yourself, and the product you'll be offering!
