I read the article wrong, thanks for catching that.

I always like to physically see where my money is tied up at and who is involved with my projects, but that's my personal preference. 

Over the years I've read books, listened to podcasts, read articles, studied investment strategies, studied investment strategies and studied investment strategies.

Usually improvements that are non-physical can be made without jeopardizing the 1031.  

I'm extremely motivated and inspired to work my *** off (excuse the language).I've already read tons of articles here and I know what preliminary things I need to start with. i am currently working on a business plan, researching the market and the like.

Wanted to get some feedback and maybe suggestions of websites or articles I could read to better inform my client.

Lots of great articles here and a ton of books to read that have been published by BiggerPockets.

I don't see any of it as obvious as contributing your labor by physically installing a roof on a flip or painting the house.Certainly, there are gray areas.

Agree with your gut feeling:  It seems too good to be true.Yellow flags:- it's a [former] foreclosure; legal status and building physical status are in question.- repair estimate $15K, yet comments "needing only maintenance and cosmetic work"Due diligence - a home inspector or experienced contractor taking a look - should answer remaining questions.

I'm a bit of a web news junkie and I found this article interesting.
