Basically you take all the proceeds from the sale and use them to purchase new "replacement" property (or properties) and defer your capital gain tax obligations.

I don't think crowdfunding will be able to replace this very well absent a broker or intermediary that will serve largely the same role the VC does.  

They were easily the lowest cost and fastest:- $5,500 for 2000 sq. foot home in Orange County while plumbers were asking $7,000 - $9,000 for the same project- 1 day to replace all the plumbing and get the hot water started plus 3 days to patch all of the holes created.- Our contractor provided a lifetime warranty on parts & labor.  

I was only going to replace the cabinets and some drywall.

This last weekend I joined as a Pro member to get all the resources and benefits and am really excited to use them.I work full time as an engineer so my plan is to work real estate part time to generate extra cash flow and build up some assets.

If you are still too busy chasing you work as a software engineer and like me, didn't have time to smartly diversify, we should talk.
