Now I have equity locked in and couldn’t qualify for a heloc due to credit as well.

Does anyone have experience or insights into what qualifies as an "Artist Dwelling"?

You have 60 days before you have to put this money back into a qualified plan.

With DSCR, you will qualify the deal based on the property's income and not your W2 income. 

The Qualified Intermediary that you select to support the Exchange is important and price is just one of the factors to consider.Happy to make an unbiased recommendation if you’re looking for more options.

If my AGI is over the $150k (not including husband's income) do we not qualify for tax write-offs/deductions?

I did speak with a property manager in the area and their biggest challenge in Pueblo is finding qualified tenants. 

-sourced, it doesn’t typically qualify for the FEIE, regardless of where you or your wife manage the properties.  

As long as the property appraises for $100k or more, we can do a loan if you qualify.

First, you will be stuck with tenants that have very few options, so you are likely going to be accepting less qualified tenants on various fronts.
