You are competing with a lot of experienced investors so if you win the auction at $6,800, it is probably sign something is wrong that you don't see.Picking up on your "first rodeo" metaphor, this is a little like getting on an bucking bronco in an effort to learn horseback riding.

The examples and metaphors he uses really clarifies the concepts and methodologies he is trying to convey.  

Seriously, I would be doing all sorts of crazy thingsCan you explain what you mean by this metaphor?   

Sorry to mix metaphors :) As if you haven't guessed, I'm very excited that the Mad King is going to be shown the door in January, and BIden can tax me however he wants as long as he is friggin presidential, rational, and stable!

(that's a metaphor, not a scientific fact, so don't too closely on those words haha)

Basically, once the money touches your metaphorical hands, that's it for the 1031, sorry. 

Glad to see your excited to get started... interesting choice of metaphors for your forum title.
