According to the posted link, related party 1031 Exchanges are permitted provided you follow specific rules and guidelines issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

It takes me 15 minutes to get about anywhere and... we have a quote unquote international airport with a less than 20 minute expected wait from car to terminal. 

@Isaak Brown Are there ways to maybe intern at a local brokerage?

Our state we worked this Oregon and Washington have made it illegal to do most anything with a home in pre foreclosure there are very stiff rules and some of it is criminal so we no longer do it at all.

We will discuss this internally and come up with a better solution.

Since her home was flooded due to an interal plumbing issue and the insurance company is paying to remodel the existing old (1920s) and dilapidated structure (could tell by looking at some of the 2x4 studs revealed in the partial internal demolition), I decided to find out if my mother can use the money should would receive from the insurance company in the form of a check, put that towards the remodel, and in addition secure a construction-to-permanent loan in order to fund the complete transformation of her 1 bed 1 bath 1,200 sqft home into a 2-story duplex that she can rent out, airbnb, etc.

It's about $20 for a basic criminal search and seems relatively thorough. 

I really like that it's close to downtown, international district, and has a Link train station.
