@Lawrence Bland, all of this is from my own perspective, which is likely different than yours.I see buying as a much "harder" process than building.  

Although from lenders perspective if you have done handful of successful rehabs, you should already have a pretty good understanding of the process, and can have an easier time to obtain a construction loan.Also Development (building multiple houses at the same time) will require additional skillset vs one house at a time.   

I will be keeping in touch with all real estate investors to gain all perspectives. 

Would love to hear some perspective on this!

In the few times that it has happened, we've been able to fill the vacancy within a week or two.I may also have a different perspective because at 25, I had a failed business and moved across the country for a new job.

As long as I do the 1031 properly (intermediary and all) and don't touch the sale proceeds, nothing changes from the interest tracing perspective? 

Short comment here, but I’m happy to connect with you and give you some pointers from the perspective of someone who lives and invests in Buffalo.

All of this is aimed at providing more value to our members without hiking prices.While I understand your perspective, I don't think it's accurate to compare our approach to the fee increases mentioned in the article.

Now let me emphasize personally being listed as a defendant is rarely an issue from an asset protection perspective because the plaintiffs attorney cares more about insurance proceeds than your personal assets.

From an investment perspective, there's nothing wrong with the stock market but if you invest properly into real estate or even private lending in your retirement account you can get a much higher return than 8%.
