More on weekends, holidays and for sporting events.

On a side note, I start RE School on Mon eve and should be licensed by the holidays!  

You can sell the property any time after living in it for 24 months (2 years) and qualify for tax-free exclusion of your gain under Section 121 of the Internal Revenue as long as your gain is not more than $500,000 for a married couple. 

Then in a bit sell the one you're in and take part as primary residence exclusion, pay off debt and use the remaining equity to then do your 1031s.  

That's why I almost exclusively flip there.

I ordered some colored envelopes for the holidays to complete my direct mail campaign.

So you know my bias, I am a Realtor in Las Vegas and my practice is almost exclusively remote investors (other states or countries) so I obviously see no problem with remote investing provided you trust the team.If financial independence is your goal then I recommend that you vet every property by the following criteria:• Sustained profitability - With real estate your minimum horizon is at least 7 to 10 years so a buying based only on the current market situation is likely to leave you in a very bad situation in a few years.• Located in an area likely to appreciate over time.• Landlord friendly laws and taxes.Combined, these three requirements are not easy to fulfill.

McClatchey is selling a nationwide program then he probably knows that seller financing in any greater volume then the states exclusion numbers requires licensing or a RMLO at the least to do your paper work then the qualified mort rules etc.. so Its not much fun anymore in my mind like it used to be or you need to pick the under regulated states.I also am not one to espouse that one can get rich quickly in RE with no money or means.

In my mind these two statements are mutually exclusive.

Land court has exclusive jurisdiction regarding real estate title.
