If there are liens, back taxes, etc... the title company will identify what the issues are and these issues can be USUALLY be satisfied by the proceeds from the sale of the property if there is enough cash to cover everything.

Two things;1) be careful not to include the personal names and contact information of the people identified on the notices because you may have inadvertantly violated a privacy policy when you posted it on a blog with 1M+ members.2) advise the city, as they've requested within 30 days, that you corrected the violation and removed it.

I understand the timing to qualify for the 1031, I’m just unsure if I can use a property already under contact, or if I need to “identify” a new property after the sale of the initial property.Hope that makes sense!!

You will want to identify a commercial lender that will allow you to refi without “seasoning” the property “waiting” 12-24 months.I use a small local bank in my area and they do not require any seasoning so it works out great on quick cosmetic deals.

I live by the Kingsbridge area, maybe I can help by identifying those houses to you.

It's your job to identify it when it happens and learn how to handle the situation in a calm and professional manner.

So, if i have two properties I am doing with an fellow investor, we have two separate JV Agreements identified by property address, tax id and legal description.

@Henry Thomas AustinHey Henry,I hear many investors use the "identifying as property manager strategy" but I haven't done it yet and dont see the use.

Some of them even have a segment titled "Haves and Wants" where people can get up in front of the group and announce what they have to offer, or what they're looking for (wants) so it'll be easy to identify who the potential buyers are. 

I've identified some possible land to build on which is currently used for agriculture but has nearby utilities that it can be linked up to.
