I contemplated shutting this down - this is the generic version of "I've had it here, I'm leaving" post which isn't allowed per the rules, but it might be useful to head this off once.I'm sorry you don't find value here.

(Unless you were verbally threatened) you may not know that someone was contemplating legal action against you, but decided against it since you’re so well protected.

When the current crisis is over and lending normalizes at low rates (I am pretty sure they will not increase anytime soon), I can put mortgages on some cash properties without an impact in capital gains taxes or other taxes related to the successful completion of the exchange.I could and maybe should write a book about the other 997 lessons learned during the exchange, some important and some others of the kind that would have made life easier had I been aware well in advance.The main question to contemplate is what your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) in this context really is.

I'm contemplating on becoming a realtor or not.

Contemplating a move to Dallas, so one question for the board, if I am licensed in CA, am I only limited to CA transactions?

I have contemplated using them but when a sales person pushes you and calls non-stop, the product can't be that good in my book..

What you are contemplating isn't a normal arrangement, but done correctly should work.Normally you would borrow from the HML (who would be in 1st position) in your entities name and make the payments from cash on hand.Since oftentimes, fix & flips go over budget and take longer than anticipated to sell, make plans for that in your financing and contracts.

What you are contemplating now is taking on mom and pop tenants directly with a center that has a track record of problems with little to no experience with your group in this asset class.

I’m currently contemplating renting to nurses down here in Corpus.

So you're at the perfect time to contemplate doing a 1031 and taking advantage of that tax deferral power.
