That being said, I only have a few books I actually own that I could offer so far:Books I could let you borrow/trade:- Building Wealth One House at a Time (John Schaub)- Unshakable (Tony Robbins)- The Millionaire Real Estate Agent (Gary Keller)- Rich Dad's Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money (Robert Kiyosaki)Books I'd like to read/borrow:- How to Win Friends and Influence People (Dale Carnegie)- Think and Grow Rich (Napoleon Hill)- Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor (Amanda Han/Matthew McFarland)I have a few more business/mindset books, but most others are in Spanish.So that's the idea.

The 4 siblings win, the property is off their hands.

Simply 1031ing into another state will not necessarily eliminate the capital gains. 

I was a winning bidder and was very surprised that the unit was not destroyed inside, but mainly needs new flooring.   

If the property condition doesnt qualify for VA financing based on condition, they simply will not accept the offer if the listing agent knows ehat he is doing.You already know the problem, so you shouldnt waste your time, and money on an inspection and appraisal if you know the property will not qualify for financing.
