Two years ago, I was going to trade in an eight year old Ford Explorer.

As the data compiled is sorted through by research teams that work for the trading giants like Bear Sterns and Goldman and JP and ect.

You also will not be able to trade in the collateral account unless you go through hoops with the bank.

I have recently been approached by a local owner of a successful radio station to trade free rent in one of my rentals (for one of his deejays) in return for either an undetermined number of radio spots OR a bi-monthly real estate show.

Since they cash flow well, we are not in a hurry to sell but I can see later this year wanting to trade them up for an MFR or 2.We know we don't want to sell them individually and it would really only benefit us if we could sell them together (time wise and $ wise).

So shall you Reap " Trading in such merchandise Keeps you further away from the " Winner's Circle" .Cheaper Prices-Lousy Deals!

Keep in mind there is no REI groups here (that's another story)1) Buying lists from people subscribed to Money / Kipplinger / trade magazines (ie dentists, accountants)2) Shotgun approach mailers to affluent neighborhoods3) ???

I think one of the questions that needs to be looked at is he getting permission from the tenants or doing some type of disclosure to put their private property on such a public platform?

This is mainly done in one off trades, where one loan is being sold and purchased.

Now since my ex-employer is not a publicly traded company, I would need to sell these stocks back to them.
