Have your agent start to look for properties that will do the 1031 now.See my comments in recent post. 

I've seen a few instances on the biggerpockets youtube channel where the comments were suggesting the data used in calculations wasn't accurate.

Hi @John Neil Stanback, thanks for your comment, i would like to speak with you.

I prefer public comments here before you send a direct message, though. 

If you're looking for positive cash flow, you should be looking into the B-/C type neighborhoods because this is where you'll find a lot more buy and hold, BRRRR, and positive cash flow opportunities.I appreciate your comments. 

Go search the topic "Lifestyle Asset University" here on Bigger Pockets and you will see a longer thread with a lot of opinions (most are not members) but still worth a read as there are a half a dozen paid members from our group who have commented on that thread.We were formerly called Lifestyle Asset University, but I didn't realize that you couldn't use the word University in your company name here in Utah so we changed our name to Vodyssey. 

There may be some HMLs that comment as to their opinions.

Id appreciate any and all comments as much backfeed as I can get.

Please send me request or comment below. 

I will not comment as to the tax laws and underlying rules - that is a discussion you can have with your tax advisor who presumably you are paying to help you.What I will do is provide practical and business guidance on tracking time.Firstly, there are apps available that can assist with time tracking where you can specifically detail your time, who you met with, etc.
