I'm selling my Georgia single family home and was wondering if I could pay off my Florida home on 15 acres with a 1031 exchange.  The 15 acres has over 100 pecan trees and 1 acre of orchard tree for a pick-a-patch, I also live in the home on this 15 acres.

I thought I could also payoff the 15 acre home/farm and lease out the pecan trees and acreage?

I also thought about putting 6 RV nightly rentals spots on 5 acres but I would still need to payoff the mortgage before starting the RV sites?  Could I payoff the mortgage if I intend to rent out RV sites?  Could I split my property into a 5 acre RV rental property and keep my home on the remaining 10 acre site?

I really don't want to buy another single family rentals and just exploring other options before I just pay the taxes.  Would timber land be an alike type?  Or does it have to be some type of building for rent?

I'm looking at buying 14 acres in north Florida with a double wide home on the back of the property and was trying to find out if I could put 10 RV rental spots on my 14 acres where I live.  I contacted the county and they told me it was Future Land Use designation of Agriculture but didn't tell me yes or no.

Is this a simple question that the county should be able to answer or do I need to hire someone to look into it for me (real estate attorney)?

I called several sites and it looks like you can't pull a credit score with out the tenant doing a confirmation through e-mail or to actually getting verified your self.

I ended up going wilh E-Renter.com. They gave me everything but the credit report, just be sure to call them and ask questions (real nice phone call). I did have to e-mail them the written application from my tenant giving me permission to do the checks.

Thanks, for you reply.

Has anyone used My Smart Move without the tenant activation first? Will you get all the records along with a credit score without the full credit report or will it not give you anything until the tenant activates?

I'm OK with just a credit score on this tenant. What is a good FCRA site that will give me a credit score (not full credit report), nationwide criminal, nationwide eviction and nationwide sex offender?

Thanks,

I have an application from a section 8 potential renter in Dekalb, GA which she has provide me with her SSN and permission to perform a credit check and background check. I didn't realise most sites have the tenant perform the credit report them self.

Is there a FCRA site that will give me nationwide criminal, nationwide eviction, nationwide sex offender, full credit report and letter of acceptance or rejection without the tenant doing anything further? Or at least a credit score if not a full report.

I'm an individual landlord with the home in my name.
