@Mike Sfera as I said originally, if it won't cash flow at 25% down, I would personally not buy it.

I'm not talking about saving for savings sake, but actively considering how a dollar can reproduce itself so that you can not only have whatever it is you want to buy, but also put more of the reproductions to work making more dollars and still have the original dollar.

None of these originators are allowed to assess you as a higher risk because you paid off a mortgage early.

I did see it and scheduled the sprinkler installation but heard they are now requiring additional improvements that weren't originally discussed like multiple egresses, changes to pool room doors etc.   

The very last part of my original question was whether I could transfer the 1031 status on this house that I'd want to move into to another rental I own?

It’s a bit of a tangled web, but if you need more info on it, do your research first, and then you can contact me to help you sort out the current rules. 3) The tax benefits are severely hampered if you there is any money from your original property that doesn’t get spent on the replacement property, so it’s best to purchase a more expensive one to avoid losing those benefits.4) It is imperative that you do not receive any money directly from the sale of the original investment property.

This assumes there are no third parties who took an interest between the original deed and the new deed (think mortgage lender).
