Ethan, sounds like you're on the right track with this- did you pull the trigger?

From what I've gathered, when converting a property acquired via a 1031 to a primary residence, one needs to be very careful to not trigger tax consequences by rkeeping the newly acquired property for at least 2-3 years as a rental. 

Which trigger her payments to become late (even thou we were not under contract our company held her payments and paid her completely) we  Treated her like she was a client, however clearly in her statement above she was not a client and was still shopping managers.  

I've been slow to get started and I realize I now need to get my foot in the door, make some decisions on where I want to start and then pull the trigger!

I would say, don't pull the trigger too quick, but don't be afraid to pull the trigger when the right thing comes along. 

I have looked at a lot of houses just can't pull the trigger.

I had been looking to "pull the trigger" and get my first deal under my belt.

If I can allocate the pre-tax dollars into ROTH, it will trigger a tax consequence but I'm willing to pay that.

The question is whether or not the deal is good enough to pull the trigger.  

Also did it trigger the due on sale clause?
