In your case, or lets say like an FHA situation, you're committing to living in one unit for 1 year.  

I am not trying to commit mortgage fraud or anything, but just trying to what is best for my situation.Any advice is appreciated.

My father was EB's attorney over 9 years ago and had committed suicide in 2012, noting Jerry and Shaun Cohen as well as the Ponzi scheme in his suicide notes.

I'm committed and ready to get the ball rolling.

The seller is not fully committed - he wants more money obviously -  and my agent is telling me they can't put the house under contract if I don't get an inspector there.  

Currently, I'm a licensed hair stylist and work in a restaurant but am looking to shift my career path to being fully committed to my business.     

As of now, I don't have anyone committed.

Putting in a lot of offers takes some time to find something that sticks.Realizing that a committed investor is also hustling to find deals and when one pans out, if they know you are working hard for them, you will be the first they'll call to list a property for them.

@Pratik P. your plan is a sound one from a 1031 perspective but make sure you understand your reinvestment requirements before you commit to a course of financing that could hurt you.In order to defer all tax in a 1031 you must do two things.  

@William Morgan  most parts of the country are not blessed with our state of the art title plants . they have no clue what the customer service part of a title co is or even exists.. jFor me I can call any of my title companies on the west coast and in 90 seconds get a verbal date down.. capturing all but the most obscure liens .. but enough to know if I want to persue it or not.and its FREE.those that have to work in like IL which is totally *** backwards  or states with closings attorneys this information is much tougher to get and NOT timely.. can take 3 to 5 days to get title back.We get a full prelim or title commitment same day.. but then again most of our title plants are in the  Philippines  we do not send in live person to pull records..
