My ultimate goal would be to have enough properties to generate good cash flow and to build a good net worth. 

Now your exchange acct has 150K  of cash in it so you can finish your exchange and totally defer all tax.Now, outside the exchange you have the note for 100K for which you paid 100K so there is no profit in that note and no tax due except on the interest as it comes in to you.It takes some cash to to this but can be an incredible way to keep the integrity of your 1031 exchange and generate minimally taxed cash flow outside your exchange.

Get the advise of an attorney on how to collect on it.

I stopped registering my properties in that city to save my tenants the grief.Like most government progams, the inspection process becomes a revenue generator and is often abused.

I'm curious if any note investors have spent the time cultivating relationships with financial planners or advisers in order to gain access to their pool of clients?

Looking forward to hearing your answers to give you clearer advise.

I need some advise. 

People put on additions obey generations and you end up with a 2 houses that are so close you could reach out and touch your neighbors house.

I appreciate all the advise and well wishes.

Hi Chris, I am a newbie investor so I don't have much input at the moment to add here but would love to see what advise the other BP members provide.
