Tenants would love off-street parking - - B U T highly doubt they would value that sufficiently to pay significantly for the privilege.

You can definitely win on Craigs list , providing;a. it has a legitamite GIA appraisalb. verify the appraisal matches the item.c. take actual delivery in person. d. find EXTREMELY motivated seller I found several people that I could buy setting with 1 carat +- for 20-25% of gia appraisal.

I require buyers to put up a sizable earnest money deposit on my listings.Even though you do not have to have it for a contract the buyer has to have something to lose to keep them honest and moving forward in the contract.It has to be painful for them to walk away.Otherwise your sellers property is tied up for nothing to show for it but wasted time.A buyer will have to feel real confident about what they are doing to put up sizable earnest money.Usually having them put up bu earnest money weeds out the infomercial clowns trying to be something they are not.

Changing the use of a property does not trigger a recognition of gain bu Andy is correct also - there are two additional requirements added onto the other 121 requirements when converting a property that was previously the subject of a 1031 exchange.
