No problem, @Robert Boyd -- we realize that it can be overwhelming for some folks and we're planning on improving the stock of our tutorials as we go forward.

If the taxes, insurance, or other expenses start eating into your margin in future years and cannot be offset with rent increases, determine how much COCR you are willing to give up or look at selling (1031 exchange) to get into a different property where the numbers still look good for the next 3-5 years or more.

Let's say you have few hundred thousands from your 1031 exchange...Is it better to go "multi-family unit buy/hold/upgrade to bigger when you can" route OR are there any better strategies out there?

You can get 7% cumulative gross average in a stock market index fund so real estate has to AT LEAST double that for me to be interested.

For now its saving up as much as possible and likely going with a mix of dividend growth stocks and property, but we'll see.You have a great chunk of equity in your SD house that you can hopefully use to start your journey whatever it is, good luck and check out the podcasts for other great RE investing ideas.

Account Closed wholesalers can send retail properties to agents in exchange for access to the MLS, comps and such.

My question is more of how taxation and foreign exchange will impact investors.

Looking forward to some productive exchanges!

Yeah landlord had them sign a crap lease in exchange for free rent.

Also I am open to help out on any local house flips occuring in exchange for hands on experience.
