Hello, everyone.My name is Hild R. and I'm new on Real Estate business, I used to run a small Painting LLC business with a HIC LICENSE for few years but based on personal circumstances I have to pause.

(yes, each option has volumes of disclaimers, circumstances and variables...at a high level, conceptually and then we can go deeper as needed.) 

However, this is not specific legal advice to you, just an opinion based on the circumstances described.  

That was an unusual set of circumstances that was created in response to covid, so it would likely take extenuating circumstances for that to happen again. 

Yeah, under any other circumstances, I'd suspect that, but I'm certain based on past communication that they are simply no longer responding.

I believe there may be special exemptions around a job relocation or other extenuating circumstances.

If you opened the exchange with the intent to hold the property for investment, and then in the future circumstance changed which caused you to reconsider the use of the replacement property and convert it to personal use, then a period of time less than two years might be reasonable.  

Is anyone an investor in the RE Gain Fund LLC upREIT, and how is that performing, and under what circumstances did you get into that REIT?

I know there has been some other forum posts on this topic, but I was hoping to note my circumstances here. 

I am not unsure of your current income & life circumstances.
