There is one area that is often unnoticed for investment capital that I think deserves some discussion: Cash value life insurance.

This often results in open permits lingering unnoticed.

That’s why small towns often go unnoticed by major investors unless they have local ties or connections to the area.Within about an hour’s drive from Lexington, there has been significant activity.

It seems every market goes through a cycle -- unnoticed potential; early titillation as the potential becomes known; flood gates open and gold rush is on; property prices rise, revenues drop, regulations come in; and finally balance is found.

That doesn’t go unnoticed by regulators.

The advanced analytics and insights AI can provide are invaluable, offering us data-driven guidance and uncovering trends that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Specifically information that will help me complete a deal like I'm describing won't go unnoticed.

Especially the days when you discover that big capex like a roof being blow off (happened 2 years ago), some tweakers climbed up on the roof and gutted the A/C (did two of those in the last 12 months), an evap cooler leaked for so long that the drywall on the ceiling of the kids bedroom caved in (last year), the hot water heater blew a hose and a major leak went unnoticed for 10 hours flooding the hall, kitchen and living room (dealing with that now), the tenant smelled gas outside, the gas company came and shut off the gas because the underground pipe is corroded AND also discovered that the water heater is not venting properly so it got red tagged (just dealt with that last month) or the time the tenant "invited" a homeless guy over, he moved in, then called his other homeless buddy up and he parked his crappy RV with his entire family living in it in the driveway.

Plus, there is a lot of work brokers/agents do that goes unnoticed by the buyer and seller.  

A 1031 exchange is not right for everyone, but when comparing the numbers...Option 1: Have a larger asset base to work from and reinvest in income producing properties (via 1031 exchange), orOption 2: selling, paying taxes, and investing in the stock market (which may or may not be paying dividends).An exchange can also be thought of as an interest free loan from the government - you only pay the taxes when you do not reinvest in like-kind real estate.You do make a compassionate argument for your current tenants, and that does not go unnoticed, however as @John Warren pointed out, your return is very small.
