B) Worst case is I sell my current home, move into the foreclosure, live in it for 2 years, and then resell without the capital gains tax hit.  

This is like when a seller says they don't want to pay capital gains so they want 200k on the contract and 200k in a bag.

Plus to realize that appreciation it costs you money to sell, refinance, and potentially pay taxes on the gain. 

I am also a part of Bill Faeth's Inner Circle as of this year and have gained a ton of insight of things we can do to run our business more efficiently. 

Partial 1031 Exchange: If you back out of the condo deal, you can still defer taxes on the portion already reinvested (the vacation rental) and pay capital gains tax only on the unused portion ("boot").3.

(And it also this a kick in the butt to find a financial planner, so I will be responsible and do that as well :))Return on Equity equation is adding up your returns (so actual cash flow and the gain on equity for one year) and divide that by your current equity.

You are an absolute loser for defrauding thousands of investors for your own gain!

Take that year to gain some financial literacy and find out what types of investments you're comfortable with, and find the right people to help you invest it.BUT, if you have piles of debt that you can't keep up with, don't wait a year to address those...

Using your own funds to pay down your loan so you get a bigger loan sounds like a zero sum gain (aka IE using 1 dollar to pay down loan so you can net 1 more dollar from the new proposed loan) So how are you going to net more cash when spending 1 dollar to get another 1 dollar ?
