I would like to be able to occupy the property for 1 week every 4-6 months, which they agree to (with enough notice on dates) as they have to travel for work at times and could easily vacate during these periods.Has anyone written this sort of agreement into a lease?

Any sort of walkability is a huge plus since you can't add much more value other than a typical remodel.Good luck!

Hey @Jeff Ryan - While I can not speak to your exact situation, I can speak to the thousands of homes I have walked here in Chicago, where majority of the homes were built in the late 1800s/early 1900s.I would say that 7/10 of the older homes I look at have some sort of settlement in the foundation, which causes the cracks and sloped floors you are mentioned you are seeing in your property. 

I lived in New Hampshire for a year and I don't think my Houston humidity built body could handle any more cold lol It is beautiful up there though.

One day the SEC my let them know the fine when they investigate a deal that has a complaint of some sort. 

This is exactly the sort of thing they would handle for you seamlessly.

I started this thread a few years ago, when I first heard about this sort of 1031 investment.I eventually decided to pull equity out of the asset that I was contemplating doing the 1031 with. 

And that is true, but that is also sort of like saying "to mitigate the risk of investing in Apple, and relying on their decisions, I will start my own tech company" (okay, that is a bit extreme, but you get the idea).  

It should include the keyword multiple times within the ad body and title so that it gets highlighted, which is another trigger for visitors to click on YOUR ad.3 - THERE IS NO CALL TO ACTION.Every ad needs to create a sense of urgency with a call to action, such as “Start Today” or “Get An Offer Now.”

Will Aunt Betsy lose her house and be forced to sell her body on the streets for the next fix?
