Have you thought about what kind of investing you want to do? 

I'm talking to the seller's broker, but I would like to find my own people to assist with the due diligence period, such as an SBA loan broker, an accountant with experience doing QoE for this kind of transaction, and a lawyer.

Utilize a 1031 Exchange: Under IRS Code Section 1031, you can defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds from the sale into a similar “like-kind” property.

I also due to all the walk-ins put a sign with cards by the front door with my number that way I could kind of verbally take an application when they called. 

Sorry I keep harping on this but what kind of documentation can they possibly have that they can see a guest trying to book off platform 18 times.

Also, we had a number of people migrating to Michigan for short term projects in the area, so that kind of helped.

What kind of roof is best for your area?

Need to have the option to be ready for that kind of thing. 

The properties are residential, but on commercial loans for an LLC.I've done 1031s before for like kind exchanges.

Are you getting any kind of asset protection elsewhere?
