That means that after 45 days, you still have wide leniency to negotiate the best possible exchange and close within the time limit.Furthermore, the properties that the IRS defines as “like-kind” don’t have to be identical.

I own several “pairs” of properties on the same street with identical sf and build dates with very different taxes. 

How it was handled is messy, poor docs, potential fraud from owner forging end buyer signature without consent, no paydown financial logs(amortiz table) on the REC since there was no escrow company involved so the payments were going in direct to seller account who was not paying property taxes and the tenant is getting burned on this deal.(2)The contract almost non existent or sketchy at best.

If you can't verify someone's identity, credit worthiness, or other risk factors, then that's a legitimate reason to deny their application.2.

Especially when you set up the controlling entity in states that legally do not have to reveal the owner's identity, such as Delaware or Wyoming. 

#9- Require that your Private Money Lender disclose their full identity, personal and company contact information that can be verified, skip traced along with proof of the nature of their business, bank and client references etc.

Another option would be to continue renting and stay in your new primary residence part time and airbnb the property when you are back at your rental, though you do want to be careful with mortgage fraud.

Coming here for legal answers you plan to rely on could get you in trouble.If the tenant had already given notice to vacate and you were told after the fact that the tenant may be putting in their notice it sounds like misrepresentation/fraud/deceit but it could be a miscommunication between the agent and the owner. 

Maybe home title fraud is a better term, but it is sometimes referred to as title theft.

If they can't buy a rental because of their visa restrictions, I wouldn't partner with them as not claiming it will be tax fraud.
