However, even in an equal exchange, recapture tax might apply.

Keep in mind with a 1031 exchange, it's important to ensure that the total value of the replacement property is equal to or greater than the property you sold.

So, everyone using those platforms is jumping on the same leads AND at the same time which means there  users are all equally behind anyone WHO GOES TO THE RELEVANT COUNTY AND COLLECTS IT there own data or can find someone who can get it for them.

I live in Sacramento, and have noticed that people are offering either equal or above asking price even for homes that sometimes need 80-100k in repairs and I can't see how they would even make a profit doing that.

Higher inflation equals higher interest rates. 

If my stories scare them (and they often do), they should NOT be investing in Detroit.But I'm equally tired of the narrative that these sorts of houses don't work as cash flowing investments.

If your current deposit already equals one month's rent, you can't request additional funds.Keep the lines of communication open with your tenants, explain the process clearly, and you'll avoid any misunderstandings.Good luck!

The 1031 exchange rule to defer your tax is two part 1) reinvest all your proceeds and 2) purchase a property (or properties / DSTs/TICs) with an equal or greater market value.  

My opinion and belief about it is if you don't have the intelligence or drive to figure it out on your own then it is probably not something you should get involved with.

Time equals money, etc etc.
