Does this facilitate one of those 1031 exchanges any easier, or possible at all?

He is now interested in doing a 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange.

I reside in the Evans, GA/Augusta, GA/Martinez area and have been working on getting into REI as I currently have have my first 2 buy and hold houses under contract and am have been looking for a mentor for numerous months now offering my times/efforts in exchange for their knowledge with no avail.

I would recommend you check out FCI Exchange to get a flavor for the pricing and locations of performing notes if this better suites your level of comfort/risk. http://www.fciexchange.com/If you are just looking to loan money on RE projects, then probably one of the crowdfunding platforms like Fundrise or Realty Mogul may be a better choice.Have fun!

Hi everyone, what a great and on-point blog topic, thank you for the exchanges!

You can always register an LLC in one state as a foreign entity in another state. 

What did you exchange for their mentorship?

At this point the only reason I would considering selling my Memphis properties is to complete a 1031 exchange into an apartment complex or some other multi-million dollar property. 

These are the kinds of mental exchanges that take place at the graduate level, one third fantasy, one third conceptual subject matter and one third ego.

And that allows me latitude for a zero or smaller than 8% increase; which makes me look good :)Now, there is another way to get more rent in an increase, and that is to find out something that the tenant really wants - and to give that feature to the tenant in exchange for a rent increase.
