I stayed on their "a@@" for weeks and pulled the we are getting a lawyer card.  

Way way too often Mrs. wants to stay, but realistically can't afford to stay with one income....and it is just a downhill disaster finacially the longer they stay.   

Stay hyper local.As for investing in Illinois: Get your head examined.

How do you buy anything or stay somewhere?

Even the drop down menus for the forum subgroups are not organized that well.3.

I would stay away from theses guys. 

Trying to stay as affordable as we can ideally. 

Have you heard the expression "when visiting someone, don't stay longer than 3 days or you begin smelling like dead fish".  

However, purchasing the replacement property from an estate where your mother-in-law is the executor and other heirs are your wife's aunts and cousins raises potential related-party concerns under Section 1031(f).The IRS generally prohibits 1031 exchanges between related parties unless both the buyer and seller hold their respective properties for at least two years after the exchange.To stay compliant and avoid disqualification, ensure:The estate sells the property directly before any distributions to heirs.You hold the replacement property for at least two years.The transaction is conducted at fair market value with no prearranged agreements.Given the IRS scrutiny of related-party 1031 exchanges, consult a qualified CPA or 1031 exchange accommodator to structure the deal properly and avoid potential capital gains tax liabilities.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

You’ll want to handle this carefully to stay within the law.
