You are only in control of what you do.  

Specifically, the the loan guarantors need to have controlling ownership in at least (i) 3 multifamily properties [with the first acquired at least 2 years ago], or (ii) 1 multifamily property that has been owned for at least the last 5 years. 

@Eric SmithGenerally, if the taxpayer sells the relinquished property to an unrelated party, the taxpayer generally cannot acquire replacement property from a related party unless:The related party is also participating in a 1031 exchange.The related party pays more in tax on the sale to the taxpayer than the taxpayer is deferring in the exchange (this scenario is rare).Let’s look who is considered a related party: Spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, and siblings.Corporations and shareholders owning more than 50%.Commonly controlled corporations.Partnerships and partners with more than 50% interest.Trustees, grantors, and trust beneficiaries.Non-Related Parties:In-laws.Aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces.Friends.Domestic partners.Entities owned 50% or less by the taxpayer or a related party.In your case, your mother-in-law, aunts, and cousins are not considered related parties to you under the definitions in Sections 267(b) and 1031(f).

For example, in my state PA there is an inheritance tax and many TAX auction properties originate from people passing away and the heir(s) not taking control over the estate and paying those property taxes.

Be honest—are you waking up early and controlling your day, or are you rolling out of bed and playing catch-up?

The benefit is that you can take control of the rental while still allowing them to retrieve their belongings.

Some people are more disturbed by that than others (even if they have nothing to hide) - and following you around may give them a greater sense of control and therefore comfort.

This is especially true of the statewide rent control (1482).  

The president has zero impact on underwriting guidelines and  zero direct control of interest rates. in fact the fed has no direct control of long term rates that effect mortgage rates.

These are the best options for finding sellers willing to transact in today's market at cap rates that make sense to the current interest rate environment, in order to capitalize on the upcoming favorable market conditions over the next few years such as spiking rent growth, falling vacancy, and compressing cap rates.Interest Rate ProjectionsLooking at the Federal Reserves Dot Plot, which is released every quarter and is the federal reserves outlook on where they believe the Fed Funds Rate, which does not control fixed-rate financing but does influence it, as well as directly affects floating rate financing, is predicted to be 3% - 3.25% by Year End 2027 (Source), currently sitting at 4.25% - 4.5% today.
