Hi @Cj Powderhorn, The general formula to determine the amount of taxable gain that you have is your gross sale price - routine selling expenses - adjusted cost basis in the property = taxable gain. 

Hi @Ray Slack, Operating expenses like prorated property taxes are not routine selling expenses and are therefore not "permissible 1031 Exchange" expenses. 

Then I would probably go the lease option rout. In

This was the most uncomfortable I’ve been with an offer, but the numbers still worked and I honestly thought I had a solid offer.

Too many uncertainties and unknowns could make this very uncomfortable and risky for your partner.

Only a "fees box" and since we are not allowed to be charging late fees, this is rather confusing and makes me uncomfortable putting anything there in the fear of disqualifying the application.Lastly, related to my first point, it still puts the control in the tenants hand whether the landlord receives any funds or not.  

I think most people here on the BP forums would agree they are here to grow and stretch themselves, but when it comes to money it is important that you not feel emotionally uncomfortable with your decisions.  

My agent was suggesting 310k and I was uncomfortable going that high.

The way the leases are setup as a non triple net situation in a multi-tenant commercial building means that I field a ton of calls and things that I consider routine, but they fall to me. 

I am 5'8 and my husband is 6'5, and it's really uncomfortable to try and sleep in a queen together.
