Whilst my aim with the exam is to enable us to access MLS and gain a good grounding in the industry, I think it would be a good idea to work for this broker for a period of time, to learn the ropes in luxury real estate, whilst continuing my deals on the side. 

In our screening we heavily weight credit score in the choice. 

My thirst for knowledge into real estate investing has brought me here and I am eager to turn the knowledge gained into gains for myself, my family and others. 

The seller can receive his capital gains over time, spreading out the taxes that the seller has to pay.  

Brelion.com is a platform that is gaining some traction right here in the midwest.  

We're basically trying to save about 100k in capital gains tax so this is very important.....I'm on day 172 of 180 for the exchange to expire.Is there any creative solution to this?

I don't see it as an investment strategy if you are truly "swapping" homes with little to no monetary gain, but you can stay in some pretty amazing places in other parts of the world.  

This is my loose understanding: I was told by some investors this weekend I could borrow the equity in my investment property to avoid capital gains tax because there would be "no gain".

If you're busy like we are, the podcasts are worth their weights in gold.

If I sell a property with Seller financing on 30 years term/No Balloon payment at all, when am I responsible to pay the Capital gains assuming there is neither early payoff nor foreclosure?
