Just got the wisdom teeth yanked today and am feeling foggy :/

Some initial teething issues because in the hood they assume you are a slum landlord and they have to fight for everything. 

I bought a lot of tax sale stuff there in the day.. this area was also known as ground zero in the weed cultivation back in the late 70s and 80s  I cut my teeth selling Ranch land in that area as a young broker..

With the kind of cash-flow you're getting on this property, it's an ideal specimen for cutting your teeth on being a Landlord.

(nothing to do with one leg whatsoever, plenty disabled people are very skilled and awesome people).  

Dont know why not trying the cash deed...once you have agreement with the owner usually they dont know or care if it is a quit claim deed or whatsoever!!

If that's the kind of document that you present with your offer, I have no idea whatsoever whether you can actually close on the property. 

While I got my teeth kicked in a few times in the early going, that decision forced me to be very keen on how to accurately screen for good and bad tenants. 

Even though everything was great, the photos were stunning; the property failed to garner any interest whatsoever. 

If it's considered to be a community property - there is no issue whatsoever with the exchange, as long as the trust you're setting is of a "grantor's trust" variety - another question to ask the lawyer.Even if it's a separate property, I do not see any issue with the exchange, because in the eyes of the IRS the two of you are just one taxpayer, and the trust is just your alter ego.I'm confused why the exchange company is fussy.
