My understanding of a 1031 Exchange is that you find a third-party administrator.

We're afraid we'll get parties.

Have a purchase agreement on my first duplex and wanted to know if I should trust the Inspector that my real-estate agent selects/ recommends or find a 3rd party one that might be more impartial.

for 1050/month all bills paid. they claim this cash flows 3600/month (4200-600). the math on that is they say electric is 90 unit, trash and water is 50 each for all 4 so theres your 600 and say they can provide receipts on all this. it's located  a handful of miles, about 6-8, outside the nearest small town with a wal mart etc.one thing is it seems better apts, in town with 600-800 ft, go for more like 1k no bills paid. even adjusting for the all bills paid part, i feel like 1050 is aggressive on these. otoh near me some crappy tiny apt with mold and everything go for 750, and these are much nicer than that. i think 700-800 would be an absolute floor on what they could rent for.i guess i just have no idea for example, insurance?

To trigger this exception, you must meet three criteria:You must sell your entire interest in the underlying passive activityYou must trigger a tax event, meaning that you must sell your interest for value in a fully taxable transactionAnd you must sell your interest to an unrelated third party, no family or close affiliates.Source Link

I have a service agreement that either party can end with 30 days notice for good, bad, or no cause.

I am learning a lot    I agree but in todays world where "seller financing" and creative financing are the next big thing, MOST of those situations neither party is getting title insurance.Here is an instance where I bought a property and had a title claim.

From a tax perspective... whenever I read the borrow and die I found it to be very funny, first of all the borrow part is no longer working as interest rate is whooping 6-8% , HELOC is 12/14% and once we are retire, there's no opportunity really to do refi or HELOC.

Even with an ITIN and LLC, etc...Can discuss when we meet next week also 🙏  I think they might get around it by nominating the PM or some neutral party to be on the checking account with them.

We are interested in learning the necessary skills needed to effectively find deals, fund deals and match-make for the mutual benefit of all the parties.
