Would like to do more ponds on our Country Subdivision projects here in Iowa, but the Corp of Engineers governs these, and this same pond would have cost $80,000 to $120,000 for the "Right to build"; not to actually build here. 

The government has regulated their hours of work to 24 hours a week rather than 40 hours.

Separately, the government increased the money supply by 40% with massive government stimulus and that drove the cost of everything way up (labor, materials, everything).

A 1031 Exchange is also known as the Tax- Deferred Exchange, which allows the different shareholders as well as different depositors to reinvest the profits that these people had acquired as well as earned, most particularly when it comes from the different financial transactions of the property that the investor had advanced without acquiring different taxes from the government.

Without population growth, your rental income will lag behind inflation, requiring you to find additional sources of income.How long your rental income lasts depends on the job growth in the investment city.Non-government jobs are inherently temporary.

There are section 8 opportunities if you are interested in part of the rent being guaranteed by the government.

So in less than 20 years you have to give the building back to the government?

I had to write 18 checks and fill out 18 single page forms (local government efficiency at its finest) yesterday to catch up. 

While 1031 exchanges are governed by federal law, some states have their own nuances that can impact your transaction.

But I digress…I am feeling hopeful that government can get its butt in gear and make meaningful change, both in size and complexity, with help from both sides of the aisle.
