back then, JV meant Junior Varsity, and a "tape" was just used to stick things together :-)I recently paid for some training information (not a course, but some videos and printed material) from a well known trainer.  

Maybe it's interpreted that she's living with you for free and the "rent payments" are gifts.Either way a junior auditor at the IRS could tear this 1031 apart before he's even had his morning coffee if you go through with it.May be advisable that you and your girlfriend rent a property from a third-party or buy another primary, rent this property to an unrelated individual, then 1031.

Either way you go, I wish you the best of luck and welcome to the game Have a great weekend Best,Junior

Keep in mind this is not the only solution to give you a head start on investing in real estate, but you can apply these techniques if you think it would be applicable for your situation: WA state has a cool program called Running Start that lets high school students get 2 years of free college during their junior and senior years of high school.

I do not purchase D/FBest, Junior

Note: if you offered $5k more in purchase price, the 1st lender will Not add $5k to what they are willing to give the second.A 3% facilitation fee is not unheard of, just not as common these days.Bottom line......you want to talk to the “facilitator” to find out the details like junior liens and such, what negotiations have occurred, failed contracts, offer terms, etc.

@Wayne Brooks  I bet could decipher  this..But it sounds like you may have bought a HOA lien which was junior to a mortgage or trust deed.and it sounds like the mortgage or trust deed went through the foreclosure process and extinguished your rights to the property.. if this is the case I suspect you lost your money and they will evict you if your living in the property or if it has a tenant they will introduce themselves as the new owner and start collecting the rent.

@Michael Junior look up the property in your county tax records or with department that provides property information, see if the property is still owned by a person or if it is owned by a bank.

Strategically, I moved into my car and made my way to Denver, CO earlier in 2018 where the weather was bearable to live in my 4-door sedan while I networked and got my first job as a software engineer.After getting my foot in the door and some experience as a junior software engineer, I began searching for a job in a lower cost of living area than Denver and away from the traffic.Strategically, I was looking for jobs in midwestern cities with colleges and stable economies because my next goal is to own a home and rent out rooms in the home.As luck would have it, I'm starting a new position in Lincoln, NE in January 2019 where I lived for 10 years before (I went to college there).Now I'm seeking advice for my first rental property purchase.My plan is to purchase a house around $90,000-$120,000 in June/July of 2019.

@Michael Junior@Bill BrandtThe best time to buy in Las Vegas was 2012-2016.
