@Sarah P.You can certainly execute a swap that satisfies the requirements of 1031.  

Maybe we could swap notes sometime.

Info swap after we get back?

My primary heloc is through them, but they seem to be very accommodating for local properties - it's worth asking them if they'd do an investment loan.Feel free to reach out to me if you want to swap stories about rental rates here.  

We actually got 2 offers - one a cash offer of $17,500 (which we got today) and another an offer to swap this property for a $25,000 note (collateralized by another property), an offer we got yesterday.

Unfortunately it could be months before you find out and by you backing out could send the seller to foreclosure.You can also do a single closing in an LLC by adding buyer 2 and then having buyer 2 pay off buyer 1 to leave the llc after closing.OR if you have the end buyer lined up, you might be able to swap out your contract for a new A->C contract for a fee from Buyer 2.

Anyone want to meet for dinner to swap stories and tips?

Must use an intermediary - You wont be allowed to touch funds during swap.

It actually sounds like a half decent model, kinda like a turnkey swap, give up some of the margin for security, and that margin comes partially from the real estate agent being cut out.
