I am having trouble defining the "like-kind" qualification as part of the 1031 exchange.

There's no reason for me to contemplate the financial terms of my end buyer during rehab; its useless in every aspect.

Thank you. our priority is definately to move in within the 60 days allotted.

I like the DIY aspect and repairability.

Real estate is a very huge market and it also comprises financial aspects, in which your accounting degree might help - so better nourish it first before you jump directly into RE.

Having all this clearly defined up front can remove alot of head ache later.

But there are parts of its that get tiresome.Even truly fun things can have tedious aspects.

Either someone's going to pay that or someone's going to take the pain for getting rid of it.Forget about the investment aspects of it.

I'm not quite sure on the exact procedural details (as far as the contracts and paperwork would go), but I've been browsing around the site, and I'm sure I'll keep running into good information.I'm really looking for any potential partners or mentors in Gainesville that could help me develop in this aspect.

I suggest you define what you want to do, specifically and then look for a great deal.
