There are Debt Partners who will lend money for deals in exchange for a specific interest rate so they can get their money back.

I'm always looking for investors to network with - feel free to PM me if you'd like to share/exchange knowledge about rental opportunities in this area.

Just do it"...The "it" is a moving target and hopefully these exchanges brings us all closer to what "it" is.

If you're a flipper, you'll just have to pay those Capital Gains taxes, though you may want to look into a 1031 exchange...

We closed a week later for $39k, which included a '98 Camaro convertible and '85 Honda CB 750 Custom and the contents of the house, and I ended up trading all of the extra stuff in exchange for work on the house.  

I think I can wipe out $650-700 in recurring payments in exchange for a $200-250 per month mortgage payment bump.

I am working on a 1031 exchange now and came across a company by the name First American Exchange Company located out of Irvine.

My initial thought is a 1031 exchange.

Require cashier's check or money order before any keys are exchanged or any lease signed.

I'm not sure if your aware but real estate has many benefits that you don't see right off the top, things like depreciation that can help shelter the income you make from it, and using 1031 exchanges to shelter the capital gains as well, you should consider all those things when making your decision cause it might turn out to be a little different than you expected initially.
