Truly.....odd.The insurance industry can and must, to one of your points, do better to educate clients on the underlying principals, mechanics, and ongoing use of policies designed for IBC. 

@Gregory Frisoli, Many times a partnership structure that can accommodate TIC ownership will also have created a mechanism where you can assume a prorata share of the debt as a TIC. 

Concessions could be utilized in a greater percentage of transactions as buyers look to reduce out of pocket expenses or offset costs to their representatives in instances where seller paid buyer commissions are not an option.High level, in the immediate future I don't think too much changes (beyond mechanics) for spring transactions.

You can also get a home warranty if the mechanicals are nearing life expectancy, or for peace of mind.Getting started is way easier than you think, and don't let analysis paralysis get in your way.

I can imagine a complicated mechanism that would produce an arguably valid 1031 strategy...but it almost certainly would create more problems than it solves.  

But if the loan doesn't allow an assumption, then use the correct mechanism for Texas to remove her from title.

Thank you all for the advice and information, to answer a few questions, i will be retiring and staying here in Tx, my current afsc is an aircraft mechanic.

Hi, I need a surety company to bond a six-figure mechanical lien.Thanks

Next, if it's a contractor doing a large job (a GC, a foundation company, major mechanical work, etc), I would want to interview him, at least over the phone. 

However, each BP member needs to follow their own personal conviction regarding their risk tolerance, and put the mechanisms in place to alleviate that risk.
