It's a large corner on a road that sees 15,000 cars on a daily basis.

That starts with identifying the criteria needed for a property to be a good deal.

Not to mention there tends to be no method of identifying those assets pre-purchase.

I like the The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary KellerThe BiggerPockets Podcasts are also great for road trips.

So whoever put the last one was trying to take the easy road.

Looking forward to hearing about your road to real estate investing!

A home owner might think of large traffic and congestion and commercial being around their property and they can't sell it to a home buyer.Another person might see that home on road frontage and know they might get 4 to 10 times or more of the houses value with the land selling to a developer etc.

Kicking the can further down the road and only pushing the inevitable into the future.There is to be a $25 surcharge for a flood policy on a primary home and $250 surcharge for secondary homes.

Pledge or cross collateralize that property, you may need to see your tax guy.Add the cost of the intermediary and closings and that's another matter to examine.Look to your current tax rate and your expected rate down the road and hope the rates don't change.I'd say many who do 1031s do so for bragging rights rather than really any prudent financial planning.

There are a lot of "potholes" on that road.
