Even lawyers often make mistakes on these or do not fully understand the law.

I’ve heard that needtoskip is a good website and i understand what it does, i just don’t know how it bills you out. i’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but what exactly are you paying for and how much is it?

I understand this numbers are not guarantee.

@Nathan Story welcome to BP.One of my big beliefs is that you need to know 1 how to evaluate deals and 2 know your specific market. lots of new investors spend time learning the "Strategies" while that is fun and exciting what gives you the confidence to move forward is truly understanding how to evaluate deals and knowing what they are worth in your marketplace. 

They'll be able to provide insight on properties you're interested in and help you understand the best/worst neighborhoods.Really understand how to evaluate deals and calculate cash flow is another major component.

I understand my “why” fully, and I’m excited about the possibly of being financial free.  

. :-) I have a couple of questions about the 1031 exchange I'm hoping to get answered or at least get a little better understanding on. 

in general that should work, but local bank in smaller town maybe more open to lend there, and have better understanding of the economics of that market.Accountant and Insurance, can be out of area.I hope that helps.

Even as a lawyer, I can understand why people feel uneasy about working with lawyers.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.
