I would guess that an employee in the zoning department could answer questions, too.  

Yesterday I reached several Fishers' City employees and a member of the Nickel Plate Review Committee none of whom had ever heard of Goodin Development. 

@Dave Foster   @bill ExeterMy view is without violating any irs rules your best option may be to live in the property 2 years and use the exemption.  

Just remember anyone who has acted as your employee, attorney, accountant, investment banker or broker, or real estate agent or broker within the 2-year period ending on the date of the transfer of the first of the relinquished properties is considered your agent and is disqualified from being your QI.So definitely ask them for recommendations but they cannot act as your QI on the exchange. 

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option. 

As an employee of a MF Development Company, your boss will expect you to dedicate full-time hours to your job.

To the wealthy trying to get ultra wealthy-- leverage & marrying wrong.So the difference between you spending 7-8 hours sleeping and dinner with your family, is not different than a W2 employee making $75k/annually and an ultra wealthy person making $75k/hour.It's just the systems in place. 

Using my slow days to fill work for employees and build equity.  

They put one of their employees into one of my houses, and after I switched to a new property manager, that tenant stopped paying rent (amazing!)  

I feel I could definitely meet both of those on my own, as my husband works full-time , and I will be the only person besides the hourly employees stated above that would be accruing hours.
