I find it sad that the bill of rights and constitution are shredded for our "security"Benjamin Franklin said those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.And while I respect and admire the men and women who are willing to fight for our country, I disagree that we are fighting in foreign countries to defend our freedom.

@Kevin Smith you can register each of them in Texas then register do as a foreign entity in the other states. 

Contact them, advise them that you are trying to get into wholesaling, that you are moving to Raleigh in a year and a half and have 15 hours a week that you can help them in exchange for tagging along.

I am not sure how someone would have a justification for taking the landlord to court for high electric bill unless there is a foreign load on the tenants electric (even just a common light can derail you).

I'm looking for somebody that has knowledge of investing in tax lien certificates, that would be willing to exchange email addresses with me, and maybe point me in the right direction as far as how to get started, and what I should expect in terms of startup costs, operation costs, and pitfalls.I'm essentially looking to create an income stream to help supplement my Real Estate Sales and PM Companies.

Exchange students?

@Mary lou L.I'm 54 yrs old.My father passed away when I was 21 and my brother was 20.Parents had some properties that we had to tend to.We  1031 exchanged some into other properties.Bought personal homes and then rented them out after moving on.Didnt get real serious about building wealth until 2006.I was 45 yrs old then, realizing retirement yrs were right around the corner.We accelerated real estate investment to retire comfortably.Accumulated 8 more rentals,flipped some,and started private lending.Yes I wish we were more aggressive in our 20's and 30's.But we didn't have anyone or BP to to teach us what or how to do it and why it was important.Lord knows our educational system did not teach us about wealth building for retirement.We learned it ourselves and and a lot of times it was the hard costly way.So in order to keep history from repeating itself we are consciously trying to educate our children and other youngsters  on the importance of financial literacy and the implementation of that knowledge.Father time stops for no one and doesn't care how you spend your life.It's up to us to create our financial future no matter what age we start.Good luck to all us old farts and young farts.

After a few hours of research and with some editing work provided by my CPA I sent her an email thanking her for response, sent condolences regarding her husband and then offered up a few ideas regarding a 1031 exchange and offering to pay for a CPA to investigate other options for her.  

Haven't bought my first investment property yet but my goal is to have 1 by June 30 and the 2nd by Dec 30.To network and learn more, I am looking to partner or offer my expertise in exchange to ride along, help find deals, etc...I am open to anything.  

I now want to do a 1031 exchange.
