So if you plan on publically advertising for investors or doing massive syndicates then you need to study up, but if you plan on using your self directed IRA or your business partner's nest egg to buy property then you should talk to your accountant, your attorney, and/or your financial planner and skip the trip to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Needless to say I was greatly disappointed.Is it true that 99% of 1031 exchanges are done indirectly, not through a direct exchange one property for another?

I invite the challenge I am embracing it :) We launched our website which is still under construction (so please pardon our dust) www.thepromisedlandproperties.com - any suggestions on the design would be helpful....I am honestly looking forward to hearing from everyone and exchanging ideas.

CIC's $200 billion fund is part of China's roughly $2 trillion of foreign exchange reserves, and the majority of its reserves are in U.S. government bonds.

No pressure selling, as I am good with a 1031 exchange or the monthly cash.

I don't have the faintest idea, but the last two times it left the market, it found a chunk of Real Estate and a long-term Bank instrument of some sort or other long before it went back to the slaughterhouse on Wall Street.email for some charts on this. in exchange for sharing the reserach, please share all feedback and thoughts

What's to keep me from getting a different property in an area I do want to live with a 1031 exchange then moving into the property myself?

Plus, you'll also end up paying 2 closing fees....Unless, you do like I did and always try to close at the same company and negotiate yourself FREE CLOSINGS (That saves me up to $400 on double closings)[b]Build buyers list==>Find homes==>Put under contract (your name or llc)==>Sign a completely new contract with your buyer==>Double Closing[/b]Double Closing ProceduresClosing #1-Close with the owner of the home (No money is exchanged)==>Closing #2-Close with your buyer (Give you money)==>Give the money from the closing with your buyer to the title office==>Leave closing with difference between closing #1 and closing #2.Though I don't use the double closing quite as often as the other tactics, I do have to say it's my favorite as far as producing an AWESOME FEELING when you're leaving the closing table.There is just something about walking into a closing penniless....Then leaving less than an hour later with a check for $10,000-$20,000.HUD AssignmentThis is a tactic you won't find many investors or “guru's†know a lot about, but it's a sweet little tactic.As most of you know HUD Contracts are NOT ASSIGNABLE....Which is no big deal if you know how to use this “Little honeyâ€.

Anthony- you need to send me a PM or colleague request, and then we can exchange #'s, or e-mail me .

Part time in Europe within 45 minutes of all properties there and part time in Florida smack in the middle of our US properties, less then 15 miles from the furthest.When in the states, getting shorter andshorter each year, or in Europe we handle all the major work and events and then have a local manager when we are out of the country.Our homes are single family with enough property for piece and quiet, but not too much to handle as we are are getting less and less enamored with actually doing most of the work ourselves, and have other interests, school, programming, etc.Will be looking at going back toward cities within the next 10-20 years, in fact have some building land already set aside for getting more urban when required in Europe.Looking to begin unwinding our Florida properties and exchange them in for a nice oceanside residence in the next 10 years or so.
