Part time in Europe within 45 minutes of all properties there and part time in Florida smack in the middle of our US properties, less then 15 miles from the furthest.When in the states, getting shorter andshorter each year, or in Europe we handle all the major work and events and then have a local manager when we are out of the country.Our homes are single family with enough property for piece and quiet, but not too much to handle as we are are getting less and less enamored with actually doing most of the work ourselves, and have other interests, school, programming, etc.Will be looking at going back toward cities within the next 10-20 years, in fact have some building land already set aside for getting more urban when required in Europe.Looking to begin unwinding our Florida properties and exchange them in for a nice oceanside residence in the next 10 years or so.

I own quite a bit of real estate and I am working on acquiring via a 1031 exchange a few different condos around FL.

I'd negotiate a split with the other wholesaler in exchange for bringing your buyer to the table.

I exchanged 3 SFR rentals into part ownership in a luxury apartment.

But eventually the plan is to buy properties and hold them to make rental money off them and eventually snowball it through 1031 exchanges.

If the trust already has real estate, perhaps doing a 1031 exchange may work for you as well.

:wink: Actually it's very much a capitalist principle to take money from the government in exchange for goods/services.

It seems to me that the old principle of fair exchange of products and services for money is all but gone.

Look into a 1031 exchange for yourself with a non-profit housing organization.
