this is exactly where my wife and i were. we are now under contract. our place is almost completely turn key, but we want to swap out the carpeting for LVP (beach area, looks cleaner and easier to maintain). we know it will be a quieter market until beach season starts. but it also gives us a chance to get some people in, even if just a few, to make sure everything is set up correctly and start getting some reviews behind you.

Our local REIA also has wheel property swap calls and one one what deals people need funding and what people have funding and need a deal.

Great...there are some excellent notes people on the forum you may want to swap ideas with.

You’re getting a quote from a big company that’s going to swap out your furnace/air handlerand ac unit because you’re old ac unit uses the old Freon.

Need to swap out some door hardware?

In the middle of the contract, I happened to run it by someone else and swapped out my financing and saved a TON.

You're actually swapping for vacant land and you are going to value the properties at their purchase price for purposes of the swap.I'm still not sure an actual 1031 is necessary. 

What should be added/swapped out/combined /Omitted?

.- You bought the house through a like-kind exchange (basically swapping one investment property for another, also known as a 1031 exchange) in the past five years.You are subject to expatriate tax.

haha I was also thinking at keeping them at $550 in their current unit (with month to month lease....but rehab should be done before the year is out so I may not have to do month to month) till the rehab is done, on my side and just swap them to rehabbed side with $700 year lease once its finished.
