You have to learn not to react to this type of treatment.

The advice rendered is generally that your 1031 exchange has failed and will not qualify for tax deferred treatment; in short, it’s taxable.

If you don't, you can go through the listing agent and since they would receive both sides of the commission, you should get pretty good treatment.

Like a good investor, I am prepared to hold the house for the Congressionally approved 5 years and live in the house the last two years to receive favorable tax treatment should all of the above fail --praying all the while for a decent tenant who could actually take care of a freshly rehabbed house AND change filters AND cut the grass.

In fact, one of the major treatments for a heart attack is to give blood thinners -- something you can't give to someone who is at risk for massive bleeding.

Also the government might look at you as a terrorist or a drug dealer.

Listen, I love dealing the drug OPM, opium!

The first issue that jumped out at me is that you have to have the intent to hold for investment in order to qualify for 1031 exchange treatment.

That would be everyone I meet in the grocery, drug store, at Little League, Lions Club, Boy Scouts, PTA, church, the newspaper delivery boy, the postman, the UPS driver and even people sitting at nearby booths at Denny's.Naturally I will tell them ONLY THE TRUTH about how I feel I was treated and with any luck and persistence we may see if TRUTH and WORD OF MOUTH can overcome paid advertising.signed EOCNOTE, I'm not saying YOU should do this.

There are some really great looking concrete treatments now-a-days as well.
