It just seems odd to me  with all this new construction it does not seem to be followed by anybody on this BP. 

Even if it's 30 days banks take WAY longer and have more restrictions....the loan could get denied vs. a cash deal won't!

I could use a handy man like yourself for some odd projects around the my house because I am getting ready to sell.

My two cents: avoid condos because there's a lot you can't do when you join a condo HOA and you don't want your investor freedom restricted.

However if i sell now is there any restriction on closing the replacement properties before end of the 2016 tax year?

There are tons of things going on in the background though and trust me anyone who has tried to sell restricted stock will tell you its no cake walk which is why people generally pay less for restricted shares than freely tradeable shares 

We begin to see families utilizing a higher percentage of their income to buy homes which is odd considering we are lending at lower rates and P & I rising.

@Waylon GatesThere is no restriction against having both as long as you are eligible for the Solo 401k.

Also seemed odd that they waited almost six months to send the letter.

With the SDIRA, or Solo401k, there are restrictions of it being "non-recourse" meaning no personal guarantee from you, which make them hard to find through traditional lenders.
