Matthews IV, The critical requirement to qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment is to have the intent to acquire and hold property for rental, investment or business use.

But there is another critical point which I haven't seen mentioned.  

If the buyer is doing their own rehab scope and working with the turn key company the INspections become far less critical.. and at the end of the day the buyer many times gets a better deal and home they know exactly what has been done to..

When you go out of state, not only will you learn these critical skills, or those lessons will be very slow and likely very expensive, but you also give up the very control that makes RE an attractive asset class.

This was in a multi-unit and nobody could use the plumbing, it was a critical issue that needed resolve now, not tomorrow.Retired people usually stay a long time, they don't like to move and if the place is good for they, they'll stay. 

It is relatively inexpensive and having a good relationship with your tenants is critical to being sure they take care of your property. 

You can't control what anyone else does or says, but you can control how you react to it.DEALING WITH CRITICISMBig ideas are met with big criticism.
