The MF has really dried up even since then.

Of course a year from now the landscape could be entirely different so it is key to keep your powder dry and options open till then.There are a couple of twists to a 1031 that may allow you to still benefit from one and yet re-position your money to your benefit as well.1. 1031 into an alternative real estate investment.  

Account Closed  I have two defaults right now in Indiana on land contracts that I carried backone is cut and dry bought it in Feb paid 4 payments and dissappeared we stil have to post in the paper etc. will cost about 1k to get it cleared up.the other the person has been there 3 years and it depends on the amount of equity if they can claim enough equity then its a full blown foreclosureI will do cash for keys for that one.. try to bluff them out..

Regarding Ice melt, preorder it and store securely (in dry spot) on-site for contractor to save on costs.

It's usually good practice to be overly conservative and to retain excess capital for repairs etc, so I wouldn't go out and spend all of your cash at once.

Account Closed - it seems that you have an excessive amount of moisture in the basement... both the buckling wood floor (I assume wood flooring installed over a sleeper system) and the epoxy floor bubbling are indicative of high moisture.  

Just hauled the anchor on the Tablerock boat, it's in dry-dock.Good luck ) 

After you do get it to the foreclosure sale, you're only entitled to what you're owed, not any excess.  

Rented out to a great couple before we even had the dry wall finished for $1,000/mo.

If it needs 2 coats, that's excessive and you can charge.
