Is it possible to do a 1031 exchange and use the proceeds to buy a house using hard money, then refinance into a long term loan?

So if the partnership would not be allowed to purchase the entity together and I were to buy it, if we were to force our way down this road, would be to set up a legal agreement beforehand, I would buy the property since a partnership can not, and then the exchange for  ($$ + assigned roles + etc), my partner receives 50% equity?  

Is he a confidential FBI informant who is allowed to break all the laws with impunity, in exchange for the "service" to feds?

They have several other LLC's such as Home Partners that purchased properties at low prices and then quit claimed them to Guardian and then Guardian sold them to people who needed to 1031 exchange money into another property.

You are fortunate to be able to do a reverse exchange.

Reach out via PM and we can exchange info, if you like.  

Let’s connect sometime and exchange ideas!

I now monitor the owner's equity, return on investment, and other factors and then proactively reach out when they are ripe for selling, exchanging, or adding doors.

If no consideration is being exchanged, then all you would need is exempt stamps for State and county. 

Otherwise you could be wasting your time.I have clients from CA and NY do exchanges in GA and other states.
