For you to disregard anyone who dares to disagree with your plan is at best foolish.....Having said that, I think it's a cool idea, but I'd bet it will cost far more than you have budgeted.

If you contribute the property into a simple single member LLC that elects to be taxed as a sole proprietor then  the LLC is a disregarded entity as the property will still be reported on your personal tax return where it is reported now.Any entity can do a 1031 exchange. 

If your LLC is a single-member LLC, then it will be disregarded for tax purposes, and you will report your rental activity on Schedule E and your real estate agency on Schedule C of your personal tax return. 

I did get two decent leads, and maybe a third but if it'll be at the expense of a complaint or worse, then I would have to surmise that it is best to not use this avenue.Funny thing is, in the voicemail, I clearly say something to the effect of, "but if you don't have any plans on selling then by all means just disregard this."

SMLLC are disregarded for tax purpose. 

Keep in mind that I invest for cash flow, so if you do not, than disregard!

@Ashley Crump correction ** I don’t think I am allowed to seek out partnerships while not being a pro Memeber* so please disregard that part of my post.

If he buys the LLC and is the only member, it will be treated as a disregarded entity and he will own it personally.

I disregard the 1% rule.

To solve that problem one often suggested setup is to have a local single member disregarded LLC that owns one property in the same state, but then to have all these LLCs owned by a WY holding LLC that will then offer the charging order protection and anonymity to all of these.
