You can assign the contract, if it doesn't prohibit it, or you'll need an addendum executed by all parties.

But it was built on the fundamental principle that exchanging two items of like kind between two (or more) parties should not be taxed.

Just buy carefully and make sure the deal is a win win for both parties. 

I live in VA.Enter Bigger Pockets: I literally stumbled on the BP site a few months ago and though I want to get into the REI game, she is actually in it, so I told her to check out the website and that she could fill the apartment herself using info we learn from BP, and I could help her, remotely, from VA.What I have done: I have followed all of the suggestions regarding tenant screening and had two showings to qualified parties, neither of whom followed through with process.  

Hopefully we can get to a solution that works for all parties involved and land a winning deal.
