That kind of domination will help you be more profitable/productive at what you do. 

Who cares about the interest rate if you can find a loan product with a fixed rate that allows you to cash flow?

@Adam Widder, It is true that property that qualifies for 1031 is property that you have the intent of holding for productive investment use. 

I personally didn't like it because you have to do everything yourself everyday - go buy all the products in Costco or other huge stores, looking for discounts and promotions to get a better price (because most of the profit in vending comes from a very cheap prices when you buy bulk).

Replacement Cost: The cost to rebuild the structure with the same kind and quality at the time of loss2.

I am less than thrilled with the performance of GE products as well, but we're not talking the same level of flimsy.

In addition, properties flipped by others are going for less than they might otherwise be worth, absent HGTV, even when/if the rehab was quality work.Recently rehabbed rentals, by contrast, are still renting for a premium.

Has anyone been able to execute on such a strategy with an FHA or a competitive loan product for first time homebuyers.

Not my game, I want to provide quality units to attract decent tennants.

In the future I would like to be able to use products across residences, I plan to paint all future units in the same color schemes and so forth.
