I'd be happy to use any extra exposure as an assignment.

If you have to punt on the 1031 exchange altogether,  there is an alternative strategy with the use of the bonus depreciation in the 2017 tax law.

For those of you that have gotten a property under contract and placed it on the market for maximum exposure.

I also feel that any family members would be reluctant to allow any of us to stay with them because of the possibility of exposure prior to the positive test results.

. ;) For example, he thinks we should work for free starting out, which is not realistic economically and also it's not like just 'working' makes you a good agent, as the many long-time mediocre agents can attest to.Content marketing for SEO and exposure is a long term game (unless you drive traffic with ads), most agents struggle with the consistency it takes to blog as much as you need to (including myself, and I love to blog. :), and overall it has gotten much harder to rank well on Google. 

I was thinking a $500 bonus would suffice?

@Dominick AndersonYou can always upgrade to annual anytime here biggerpockets.com/alreadyproYou'll still get the bonuses as long as you upgrade to a Pro annual subscription. 

My interpretation of the balloon is that it is there to protect interest rate exposure from the lender. 

You can then share your post on FB and gain exposure here as well.

If the bonus depreciation rules are extended then you will have the option to repeat this exercise down the road rather than do a 1031 exchange.
