if $4000 wrecks your deal it wasn't a good deal to start with.

The house is wrecked and the seller doesn’t have the time or $ to rehab the property.

The two of them wrecked the place and had cats peeing all over and we had a huge claim against our security deposit (plus some), which I chose not to pay and detailed why I shouldn’t be responsible so I believe they went after her since they knew I had left already but was trying to do the right thing and still pay my half of the bills.

I don't want to wreck this deal even though the seller lied because it is a very good price.

The house was a wreck and didn't even have kitchen. 

A thought on the other property - if it's a good candidate for a refi as well and doing a refi doesn't wreck its cash flow or your borrowability then why not do that refi as well and use the money for the rehabs of the replacement properties in the 1031. 

They wrecked the unit before they left.Overall good learning experience and I profited from the whole thing anyway.

@Sam Teifke good question, it would be the same as any other wreck.

It's almost like watching a train wreck with all the regulations being passed lately; since I have no skin in the game in Portland besides my own residence I'm fascinated with how this will all play out. 

If the property is in your name it's not just the property up for grabs if you're sued by a tenant or say a car wreck victim.
