The jacuzzi was a living space for fish/frogs so we refurbished it & put in an all new screened in porch.

Best and most creative - A fishing lodge in Ontario purchased my share in 1992 for one barely running 1977 Jeep Wrangler, Two 1984 Fleer NFL Rookie card sets, and $2,000. 

I live in Durango, Colorado where i guide fly fishing and Instruct skiing.

Sounds like the seller is fishing, overcharging for the idea of financing, all while offering terms that meet predatory lending aspects, probably in hopes of taking it back and doing it again, most likely just betting on no other assets from you, you'll have lending problems in refinancing, bet that's what the seller is betting on too.And, as pointed out a 2/1 is nothing to sink that much money in, don't get caught up in some sob story of her granny needing an operation right now with 25K, sell the whole place for 25K and that's not going to be in a war zone either.

I'd let them do it...bigger fish to fry.

That was when properties were going for $100k per door.But, my point is; to make the really big money in real estate you have to hold onto your money and wait patiently like an alligator for the big fish.

That whole, give a man a fish or teach him to fish stuff, you know.  

I would aim for the North Macon and surrounding area- Bass Rd, Wesleyan Woods area, Zebulon Rd area, Forsyth Rd, etc.

We're in a big fishing and hunting area, however not one of our guests over the last year was either a hunter or fisherman.

Since I've posted this I've spoken with a friend who said my dollar values are so small that it might not make financial sense, that reverse 1031's are for big fish, not minnows like me...The hoops required are more than a regular 1031.Oh well, I've just learned some new things about this property that have raised some red flags...I'm looking at it today, let's see how upfront the realtor is about some of these issues, or if I need to raise them.
