@Ryan DosseyThe Federal Trade Commission is who regulates the advertising laws that we have to abide by (as agents) so it wouldn't very by state.  

Like @Mike Hanneman shared, find a great deal and you will get paid to learn the trade.

"For starters, the stocks must be in form of a private placement (not publicly traded).

The one criteria that makes your property eligible for a 1031 exchange is that it is property that you purchased with the intent to ...hold for productive use in business trade or for investment.  

When it comes to flooring if I am installing wood I always go pre finished, when your done your done.I have a guy that through the years I have fed so much work he always gives me a good bro deal on my drywall needs.Other than those two things and anything else that would require a licensed trade person to do, I do.If I am flipping my own residence which I have done every two years for the last twenty years, I do everything except the two items I hate.

I get you are in the trades but double check your own bid.

I share my listing to my fb page and then share that listing from my page to other fb buy, sale, trade and rental pages. 4.

It is very simple for me to say do this do that and I do not sugar coat that advice but you must be aware that implementation requires experience and skills that not every landlord has...For example when I advise evicting and the response is the cost is too high/give the tenant a chance that indicates a landlord without the experience to see long term. 

You can usually trade hustle for capital.

Little did I know the skills I learned in finance, business, sales, customer service and leadership would be the foundation of my future.
