However, this place is not a mentor distribution forum, you're going to have to learn a LOT on your own.

I currently work at an Aerospace company where we distribute hardware for commercial aircraft.

The divorce decree will spell out the asset distribution. 

Yes, that is possible but might be complicated, the appraisal would be required each time distribution is made.

Seems like there's a couple new distribution facilities going up along 101 there every year.  

You only have 60 days from the initial distribution to deposit that money, and failure to do so would be catastrophic to the IRA and taxable.Then, take your time and learn more about self-directed IRA plans and how they line up with your goals. 

Fed law honors the terms of a judge issued divorce decree and that would  allow them to distribute assets between them  without a 1031.

It's paid to the title company, who then distributes it to where it needs to go - pay off existing liens, and proceeds to the seller if applicable.

Some may like the long term approach, not to mention the cash distributions that they get with multi but not flips. 

Stuff with less taxable distributions like index funds and growth stocks in regular cash accounts.Thank you guys for your service!
