Also I live in woodfin and you may be hard pressed to find larger tracts here.

But it surprises me that a $700K structure placed permanently on a tract of land and used for productive purposes would not qualify for 1031 treatment. 

But it's a tract home, so upside is limited, especially in indiana.

Kept tract of all my records/ receipts/ costs and created excel spreadsheets to hold info and then mail merge to word. - Handwrote letters at first and quickly learned that I'm going to print instead.

In my zoning area, the tracts are 5 acres minimum, so we could not fence off a smaller portion and sell that land, but renting it out is fine. 

There is an ~80 acre tract that is FSBO that I would like to be able to buy to enjoy as a getaway with my family, for camping or hunting, or possibly someday put a cabin or house on.

I have an 8 acre tract of land in the Florida panhandle that I want to develop into a small subdivision. 

When you are ready to get serious about sending offers to owners by manipulating data from RealQuest Pro or DataTree using Census Tract pricing, please pm me.

Couple things to know not in the bill that I learned elsewhere: states submitted their nominated tracts a few days ago to the Treasury. 30-60 days from now they will be certified and good to go. 

Here is more on Home Possible:http://www.freddiemac.com/homepossible/Here is a lookup to see if your property is in a census tract with no income limit for Home Possible:http://www.freddiemac.com/homepossible/eligibility...For Fannie - yes, it is possible your DTI is too high but that would mean the opposite of what you said for Fannie above (the lender said your income was too high).
