Thats kind of the beauty of thes exchanges.. you get to reposition your capital, ideally in a property that ticks more of the boxes you need.Now, thinking about older buildings.. some folks underestimate how well older properties can hold up if they’re in a good location.

My wife and I are excited to get started in our real estate journey and BP has been a great resource thus far from the BRRRR audible I've been listening to! 

My wife and I moved down to Central Florida from Hamburg just over 5 years ago and are running our own brokerage and property management company. 

I file jointly with my wife who's a w2 employee.

Your taxes are none of the ex wife's business and this would seem to address your concerns.I would also put her on notice that future requests for financial discovery will be two-way and if a discrepancy is seen in the other direction you will seek support from her.
