I'll add it to my calendar!

(a) Any owner or agent of an owner who sells or makes available for sale a Dwelling or Dwelling Unit by implementing any of the following actions, including, but not limited to, advertising the sale of the Dwelling or Dwelling Unit, entering into a listing agreement to sell the Dwelling or Dwelling Unit or posting a sign that the Dwelling or Dwelling Unit is for sale, or any action where the logical result of that action will be the sale or change of ownership of the Dwelling or Dwelling Unit shall, within three (3) calendar days of any such action, have a Truth-in-Sale of Housing Evaluation completed by a Licensed Evaluator, or obtain a copy of an Alternatively Accepted City Inspection Report.Additional general information can be found here.

But again, by taking the tax free now instead of the 1031 in a few months you'll be able to start a completely new depreciation calendar if you buy something later.

I was looking for a reasonable management software for smaller multi-family (12-20 units) that does not cost me an arm and a leg, but can support my needs (track leases, rents, rent increases, other fees, handle section 8 reasonably, post vacancies, maintain calendar etc.). 123Landlord.com is the best thing that I found so far.
