A and B want to swap houses and (guessing a bit here) have A end up owning house #2 with a mortgage and B end up owning house #1 free and clear.If A could simply get a mortgage now to buy house #2 and sell house #1 to B this would be nice and clean.

If you currently have a variable, it's a super low penalty to swap your mortgage over the one of the many lenders offering P - 1%.I've moved a few of mine over, doesn't work for every rental property depending on the lender you have to bring it to, also you need to qualify. 

I'll have plenty of upgrade questions regarding swap coolers and furnaces here in the near future...This first unit i bought has old units in each and need to get the utility companies to play along with the reimbursements with energy efficient units, its homework, but nothing like a final exam for your BA....lol!

Happy to buy you a beer and swap stories if you can make it to the santa cruz meetup next week (http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/143396-santa-cruz-meetup---august-29th-2014).

Additionally, we might be able to swap deals if they are in each other's geographic areas.

Your mention of the property taxes and "hot market for hot market swap" is a good point....
