In my opinion, the 1031 is the superior vehicle because there is no required timetable from original purchase to sale, and you don't have to live in the property.

(Tarp is only used to quickly get the dirt out and also to protect the cleanliness of my vehicle.)

Does anyone have any short term investment vehicles that they would recommend for say a 2-5 year period that would be better than just letting it sit in a savings account?

Can you suggest any apps or software to track expenses for a rehab and also mileage on personal vehicle?

It never hurts to call and check prices and availability over the phone before you get in your vehicle and waste gas.

I invest in Indianapolis in several investment vehicles and am curious.

I set the vehicle up in an LLC for both legal and tax purposes.

Only interest from the loan, and expenses for rehab, repair, management, vehicle mileage, etc.

You have each tenant provide you with their vehicle make/model/colour and plate number.  

If they didn't do that, they would starve when winter arrives.The Future is VERY important.Another analogy I like to use is to Drive your Investments like an Investment Vehicle.When you look at past Data such as previous Sales, you are looking at the Rear View Mirror of your Investment Vehicle.When you look at current data, such as the current Rents and Expenses to calculate your Current cashflows or your Cash on Cash Return, you are looking at the side view... watching the action go by as it is occurring.When you look through the Windshield of your Investment Vehicle, you are looking at the road ahead.... seeing the path that it is taking you... and all the obstacles in the way.You are less likely to CRASH your investment vehicle by focusing on looking through your Windshield than remaining fixated on the Rear View Mirror or the Side Windows.If the bridge is out and you fail to see the bright red warning signs..... if your eyes are not looking straight through that windshield........ you will Drive your Investment Vehicle into the abyss down below.So please.....
