Try to find a mentor that will exchange education and experience for your manual labor.

In exchange for their help I offer what Im good at; website creation and development, graphic design, anything music related (jingles, background audio etc, music tracks), boots on the ground if needed.

Bass expects that the firm’s downfall will be bankruptcy, calling UDF “a billion dollar house of cards” that “is now on the verge of collapse.”UDF has been under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission since April 2014, the company disclosed in December, responding to what it called “market rumors” and “misleading anonymous posts.”

Do your research and buy in an area that has a better than average chance for appreciation so you can trade up later for a "better" property (whatever that means to you) using a 1031 exchange or owner-occupied tax break for capital gains (if that's what you want to do).  

Today I spoke with a past client who has multi units in LB and wants to trade up in a 1031 exchange  and has nothing to go into in the  $3 to 4 million range.

Just kind of way for everyone in this area to meet and exchange ideas as well as network (of course).Please let me know!

Currently I am only allowed to add $5500 per year.3 If I sell the property to upgrade, would I have to do a 1031 exchange even though it is already in a tax deferred account?

I track everything in QuickBooks after the fact, but to help me remember which bills need to be paid, I have this:                      Prop 1       Prop 2      Prop 3     Prop 4Mortgage      auto          auto           11/1/17   11/1/17HOA                11/1/17     11/1/17    auto       autoXcel                 Pd 10/5/17   10/31/17   11/4/17   11/10/17Water              NA                 NA        auto         NASo I have every type of expense that any of my properties have listed down the left side.NA then means that the particular expense is not applicable to the property. 

This was my first 1031 exchange.

Does anyone know how difficult it is to do a monetized installment sale as an alternative to 1031 for deferring capital gains taxes?
