One thing that I would underscore, because I have seen it happen so many times over the years, is that if you are in the middle of your 180 day time period and have not completed the entire exchange, filing a full tax return will kill the exchange.  

Our tenants like it because they don't have to be woken up in the middle of the night to the sound of snow plows.  

. - They all fall into the "middle" option.  

The time it took to buy 5 houses was a decent pace.  

Come out to oops alley tomorrow night in Pace and there will be several local guys to discuss with.

You may want to consider middle ground. 

(I'd be looking for a place in a decent working class neighborhood where I can rent to responsible grad students, or middle class professionals.)* are there any areas in Tampa where growth is anticipated? 

Class A areas tend to have limited turnover and higher rent to equity growth over time for appreciation.They also tend to have the least amount of cash flow.A area - more appreciation, less cash flowB area- middle appreciation, middle cash flowC area - less appreciation, more cash flow ( bigger headache )D area - close to zero appreciation or loss of current value, higher perceived cash flow with more work and a huge headache. ( owning out of state A and B area are the ones most investors stick to ).   

I know some of the mediocre craigslist photography was a big turn off for me while I was looking for places to rent, so if you're looking to step your photography game up in between tenants in the Florida Keys (prefer upper and middle keys at the moment, but could be willing to travel to the lower keys for the right opportunity), shoot me a message on here.I would also be willing to help with light cleaning if necessary in between tenants.

The sale has closed but the seller agreed to pay for the eviction, including the costs of the constable to physically move the tenant if it comes to it.Take all of this into consideration before agreeing to purchase if it is the middle of an eviction.
