Some do not allow access or inspections, and some will not have utilities turned on so its tough to determine what is and is not working.

It doesn't say "in the year before"... and I know this is typically how tax stuff works, from Jan 1st to Dec 31st.   

The problem I see is the masses have not understood the advantage of purchasing a duplex.As far a Lennar is considered an entry level builder, I don't see that their neighborhoods in general have very good price appreciation, unless they are in a unique area where the location is exceptional.I think that prices are falling, and that you should be able to find a deal, the I-35 Corridor from  San Antonio to Austin is a very hot area.Here is an example of a property that was listed for $342,000, and the list price is down to $300,000, with a price drop of $20,000 on 7/29. 1261 Stone Rim Loop, Buda, Texas 78610, If you need any comps or info, just let me know, I'm a licensed Broker in Texas, and I have MLS access across the state.Also, I'm not sure if you know, but you can split your 1031 exchange and purchase multiple properties instead of just 1 property. 

My wife and I are interested in leveraging a 2-10 acre single family property into a longer term RV park with 8-15 pads.We've been in communication with the county.

Because I live in the stupid litigious state of California and I don't want my house locked in probate if something should happen to myself and my wife.

That hurts and is frustrating.

At this point with my network and contacts i have really good deals at my desk many times but i have no capital to buy them and i kinda hate it, just wanted to pick the brain of the experienced folks here, should i raise capital and include other people and help them get 8% cash on cash and be partners and if so how and from where as i have never done this before?

And I should mention that I operate primarily off-market, so I've been thinking about diversifying into another market. 

I used Zillow to list my rental and accepted someone's application however after my few interactions with them on the phone some major red flags have come up and I wanted to know am I under any legal obligation to rent my property to this person.
