Also can I sell a property and 1031 exchange the proceeds (tax free of course) into the mortgage payment of a property I already have owned for a while?

I have only read a couple books and online courses so far.

Please see the Real Estate Guru and Course Review area of the forums: http://forums.biggerpockets.com/viewforum.php?

Boards of directors can be very inflexible, YOUR unit may be good, and you may have good tenants, if they allow rentals, but the guys next door may not have good tenants, and that can cause a much more severe problem in a condo or townhouse, but of course it happens even in sfd's.I would, and did, though not at 22, buy a new house and had it rented before it was completed.

The gurus spew that crap to make newbies feel better about buying their expensive courses that embrace these techniques.

I don't get east all too much bc i work south, live west, and stop at Hartford generally, unless of course I jump on an interstate.

This is of course all theoretical, and finding a very investor friendly title agent would be paramount.

The owner of course said she could not sell because she would need 96k, because that is what she owes.

Maybe you have something in your contract already.If you are looking for a capital investment in the house, call a water specialist and get a high tech system, but my experience with both methods is the inline filter is the best system.

I can do pretty much anything (of course, except for things that are impossible for me due to the fact that I am a female - I am not that strong as a male).
