Hello,As I am starting out in real estate and have very low starting funds I am looking for innovate ways to get into investing. 

We are ready to have our skin in the game….. just wondering how to transform that into an innovative contract. any input is welcome!  

You may also improve your chances of locating innovative financing by networking within the real estate industry, forming relationships with motivated sellers, and real estate experts.While these methods are possible, the current real estate market conditions, local regulations, and individual seller circumstances can impact their applicability.

Obviously the actual sale of the units is not occurring here, but a way of securing interested buyers and deposits released at some point.I originally posted this in the "Innovative Strategies" room of the forum, but am posting it here since I do not know the best place for discussion of my topic here.

For a 1031, the thing that matters is your intent, which you clearly state was to have this as a long term rental prop.I would speak with one of the Qualified Intermediaries here on BP, like @Bill Exeter or @Dave Foster, to see specifically what you would need to do to demonstrate intent to the IRS.

Quote from @Dave Foster: @Clinton Davis, You need to compare all parts of the IRR to see what the actual impact would be - positively or negatively. 

I purchased a property in 2017, 2 in 2019, and 1 in Nov 2020 and have no regrets. 

This arrangement isn't something every bank offers, so it's important to shop around and foster relationships.

@Dave@Dave Foster Appreciate the info!

@Gail L boucher as @Dave Foster mentioned, there are several options available for you to sell your property, end your days of being a landlady, and avoid paying the tax.
