You gotta realize too that Mt Ida is just a hair east of the middle of no where so you might not have a lot of buyers if you ever tried to unload it.

You don't have to have the lump sum at closing.The bad news - You do have to have the lump sum before the end of your 180 day exchange period which starts with the date of the closing of your sale.You could sell the note on the secondary market but an unseasoned note is going to take a huge hair cut.The way you can make it work is that the note as well as the down payment go into your exchange account. 

Its not a cut and dry answer. 

If that dries up again as it did a few years ago, your occupancy may go way down.I have a friend in Big Spring who built one RV Park, ran it for awhile, sold it, and is now building another one.

Maybe they were dried in the sun instead of fired, but there are homes all over Austin with that brick.  

Is this a high moisture area like a basement floor or just a concrete slab in a relatively dry climate?

Basement was bone dry for the time we owned property.  

After I'd gotten those properties going and kept my powder dry (cash in the bank and continued to earn and had those houses paying for themselves) then I would either refinance the third house into conventional financing or purchase another home to live in using Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or if the property is right, find a distress sale that will do owner financing.Be creative. 

We are $7 to wash and dry, or you can travel a bunch of blocks and pay $1.25 a load, people opt to pay more vs walk or drive.

Unfortunately all I got was a gray hair for each and no nickel!
