I am a commercial real estate broker with an 81 unit portfolio for sale in Richmond, VA.

I’m a full-time sales professional at a global GSI, so I’m seeking relatively efficient strategies.Has anyone successfully used cash-out refinances, 1031 exchanges, or other equity-based approaches to boost income?

After so many years in sales my BS radar is probably just more sensitive than most.

Looking for various tax strategies to reduce the reality that a large RV or boat is a grossly depreciating assetI would not have a loan, so claiming it as a primary or secondary residence and claiming the mortgage deduction is not applicable.I sold my primary residence and I have several rental properties which I use as I'm fixing them up.What I'm pondering is living aboard and working aboard developing a new product, while traveling.  

But there are certain skills you need.. to be successful and not everyone has the intangibles.LIke all sales   there are top producers  there are middle of the road and there are some that just are never going to do it for various reasons.  

I'm also seeing lots of homes for sale that were used as Airbnbs, so I'm wondering if that along with these numbers may indicate it's an overly saturated market, and if these are signs that maybe I should keep searching for a stronger market, or just a property that cash flows given the average annual revenue?

;(- if as-is value is less then the balance on the mortgage + arears OOOPS you need to have the owner work with the bank, you as the investor buyer AND a short sales expert often an agent work the tedious and usually failing short sale process. 

Purchase price: $101,000 Cash invested: $25,268 Sale price: $202,000 This was my first ever solo project.

This of course will affect productivity and delivery schedules. 

After being in the corporate sales world for about 10 years, I realized that I do not want to return.
