That hole in the water where you park a boat is real estate in Florida and eligible for 1031 treatment - go figure!!!

If you use agent B or C, Agent A might file an ethics complaint against B or C with the local board.If you do decide to go with B or C it is imperative that you do tell them about agent A so they are aware another agent is in a position to file that complaint and attach their commission.

That would indeed make it eligible for 1031 treatment.  

Most of my loans starting out were with a local credit union, they new me and my brother when we walked in the door which felt good  We did get some special treatment (loan modifications instead of new loans being issued) but that all changed when the individuals we were working with went to corporate and we had to start over...  5 years ago I would have told you that credit unions are more flexible however I have moved more towards business loans (instead of home equity) and many credit unions do not have a business division and others are new to it and are still learning the ropes. 

Perhaps having a pre-planned iteration of treatments on the account to some degree setup.  

The proper tax treatment is to add your net rental income to your other ordinary income, then compute your taxes.  

(I know it is ethically wrong for me not to make a call and have this removed, but if I do it I also don't want to screw myself over). 

Do you believe banks think about ethics when they take people's homes via foreclosure?  

@Matt Smith, if you're buying the fixer uppers primarily to resell then they would not qualify for 1031 treatment.  

Keep a copy of the guarantee of the 2 year policy, the original treatment date and the 2nd company's inspection report showing termite damage in the event you have to file for a civil court case.
