I don't think I can ask the seller to evict prior to purchase, although that would be the best scenario.

Once the 1031 is complete the LLC dissolves and again the property is distributed to the former members, including the properties just purchased in the 1031 exchange (which each member probably picked out for themselves).This method solved the feared "held for investment" issue. 

I’m in the process of purchasing a second home in Aspen, CO, which will also serve as my first STR property.

I am 1600 miles away from three residential properties I just purchased in Jackson, Mississippi. 

That was the only production schedule I was given even though I specifically earmarked the buildings I was purchasing in the project.

My mother-in-law wants to help my husband and I on our first real estate investment purchase. 

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Recently purchased my first house to use as a primary residence, currently I am renovating the kitchen and adding a full bathroom to the first floor.

This sounds like a home run and a great first purchase!!
