In addition, there are some people speculating that the 1031 could be eliminated or altered. 

This artificially altered the true supply/demand ratio  Very low interest rates that became lower to spur the economy to combat the economic impact of Covid  Realize that both of those reasons are Covid related and have resulted in a current price in excess of what would have otherwise occurred.  

I can't believe I didn't consider the fact that my rented basement will alter my income as the lender will see it. 

(since the agent can't alter the promulgated contract forms) ANyone have a similar experience? 

Another is using the LLC as an alter ego.

Well now the seller refuses to pay me unless the closing documents are altered (which the title company keeps saying is impossible), and is unresponsive to me entirely as I try to rectify the situation.

@Tyler PsenicskaHope all is well.I am looking to hire somebody whom has made alterations and additions (small and big) to properties in the Jersey City area in the past.I want to survey the property with the architect and run my ideas past them and see if they have any ideas as to how I could better use the space and/or increase the value of the property in my renovations.The changes will have have to be submitted for formal approval with the city of Jersey City and signed off so that I do not have any issues down the road when is I decide to sell. 

I'm in the process of posting a vacant rental and am curious to know with the COVID moratoriums in place at this time, what alterations folks are making to their rental criteria? 

All your sub LLCs will be owned by the WY holding and not by you personally, so again not reachable by your creditors.On the other hand, if you did not properly set nor operated your LLC by treating it as a business, you may have pierced its veil and a case can be made that the LLC has become your alter ego and as such could not benefit from the charging order protection.

It's not a life altering decision.
