I am looking to invest in some properties in DFW but did not realize how many houses had foundations issues here due to the clay soils. 

@Christina Galdieri A 1031 exchange cannot be used for the sale of a business itself, as it only applies to the exchange of like-kind real property used for business or investment.

This last year I've been trying to really learn the business and begin to market for properties.

I ask to take a walk through and document the current condition as my agreement states they can not damage the property during this process. and of course don't give them anything until you have walked through verified they are out and have voluntarily handed over keys. 

I have a question regarding a property that the state took over and is selling.

I think my own research says that I cannot reap the benefit because you would have to have put the property into a fund upon purchase.   

I specialize in helping out-of-state investors buy and sell here for +9 years.

Quote from @Stepan Hedz: Selling fees (estimate), $30,000, and holding costs?

I'm thinking about buying a property in NC.

After 20+ years in Tampa, I’ve seen that the best agents don’t just sell you a dream—they give you real numbers, honest comps, and realistic projections.
