@Clark Harbaugh, Given the favorable tax rulings over the last few years (in particular revolving around trusts and their equaling a beneficial interest in the underlining propery) the IRS has actually been much more lenient (or at least silent) on these issues. 

An eviction is a last resort, but also want to make sure I’m fully aware of the landlord/tenant laws  Yes, I believe all laws in all state say that. 

I shopped all of my state's CU last time so I only called the top few this time around, it does seem like the best way to go about things.

Hey All - As my fix & flip company has grown in the last two years, we are beginning to bring our own construction in house.

When we lived there up until last year, 1-2x a year there would be a clog that would cause a backup of sewage in the downstairs tub and toilet.

I haven't heard of any, but met with a few people in the twin cities last year.

., FTC, FBI for the last couple of years doesn't mean you are "in the clear".

I've been interested in real estate investing on/off over the last two years.  

Maybe if I was younger it would make more sense, but staying with the method I've used over the last 10 years will only become more refined and efficient.

My last note would be to try to buy 3 or less replacement properties, it makes the exchange much easier and you avoid some additional rules.
