I'm not an attorney so I won't attempt to provide an explanation of what the statute means and as I wrote, since the wholesaler received a consulting or marketing fee rather than a real estate commission I assumed (s)he was not a broker. 

For many years, the IRS and even the US Tax Court misinterpreted the statute and maintained that you needed 750 hrs per activity.

Check your statutes and with your lawyer. 

@Brooklyn McCarty contrary to popular belief, age is not a protected class under any federal housing statute. https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/fair_housing_act_overviewOf course if you look this up on Airbnb, they will tell you that housing laws are complex and they cannot interpret them for you.

Evictions are very code driven, and the statutes are pretty favorable to LLs so any defect is interpreted in T's favor. 

Of course, you can always keep the tenant for the revenue it generates.http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?

For example, here are just some of the requirements for operating such a home in Florida:Chapter 65G-2, Florida Administrative Code, Licensure of Residential FacilitiesChapter 65G-7, Florida Administrative Code, Medication AdministrationChapter 65G-8, Florida Administrative Code, Reactive StrategiesChapter 393, Florida Statutes, Developmental DisabilitiesFacility Application FormCalculation of Licensed CapacityI offer this as your lease would need to require that all licenses, certifications, Group Home/General Liability/Professional Liability/Workers Comp/Auto liability insurances be submitted and approved by Landlord prior to move-in. 

But the process will be the same regardless as 1031 is a federal statute so is practiced the same in all states.An experienced QI with a national footprint is probably going to be less expensive because  of economies of scale. 

They also mentioned FDUPTA (Florida deceptive and unfair practices trade act), and another statute.

And as far as the QI for the 1031s location isn't going to matter.  1031 is a federal statute practiced the same in all states.
