I knew from a young age I was destined to be different.I was the one always thinking outside the box to find creative ways to make things happen.Working a 9 to 5 job for the man would be literally like DEATH to me.When I got into real estate about 8 years ago my first broker said "Be passionate about what you do and help people first and the money will take care of itself".I do get satisfaction out of solving a really hard problem and being able to do what not many other people are able to do.That's why I love commercial real estate because of the complexity of it.On flipping properties I am debating that versus flipping businesses.I am a natural at taking an existing business and locating the problems and fixing them.

When somebody mentions using a 1031 exchange, I naturally assume they're looking to maximize their tax-deferred benefit, i.e., roll their entire gain into another like-investment.
