The way my company works is, I get a small monthly fee this includes building and property checks, some repairs and administration work.I set up all the building repairs also state and local inspections when needed.I only charge a fee when I complete a building repair or meet a local inspector.

Some real estate work I have been involved in include: being a real estate paralegal for over 11 years; acquiring my Master's Degree in Real Estate; property and market research / analysis; sourcing properties for investors; real estate property tax appeal; capability of lease administration; and more.  

Hopefully, your local Section 8 administrator works the same way.

Hi @Chris Bounds, The answer depends on how much income tax liability you will have to pay vs. the cost of structuring a 1031 Exchange and the additional administrative items that will be involved.  

I'm comfortable working the numbers and doing business with people, whereas administration, taxation, legal issues and home improvements are things I still need to get to grips with.I'm thrilled to be joining this tremendous community, and hope that we can all celebrate a lot of success, joy and happiness together!

Many payers use a “bill pay” service and deposit or mail payment to the Ira administrator/custodian or to the checkbook Ira account.
