Then you can charge him the full 1600, and you will have a long term tenant :)

That is definitely not my deal.As of now, the Architect will be staying on throughout the project and I will be part of a team in charge of hiring sub-contractors.

(I have done that before but it usually requires a substantial volume commitment.)Some "other" brokers will take your deal to a portfolio lender and charge double and think that's Ok because they are providing a service but you can do it easily and much more cheaply on your own.Just my .02 because I invest to make money not give it away,

I agree, it's important to pay your debts, but it should not be at the expense of your physical and emotional well being.Just my opinion.

Costs for an exchange are minimal (my company charges a total of $695, for instance); it's hard to find a RE deal where taxes won't be at least that much.

Everyone is scared, people are emotional, those who are focused will capatalize.

Do not let a title company charge you a couple of hundred $$ for it either I could walk you through it relitivly easily.

They should just charge more and do a better job.

Tenants die from carbon monoxide poisoning and the landlord was charged with homicide.

It's the slum lords who bypass the law by paying for city water and trash service and then they charge extra rents to make up the difference.
