It is pathetic that the greatest country in the history of the world can't figure out how to let someone who'se identity has been stolen, change their SS#.

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that it is enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

Interesting, self employed people have the most sense of identity from their job of people not working in government or Non-profit: So maybe the push to get out of the cube is more about agency and meaning than we give it credit for..

The example "extenuating circumstance" in the FHA guidelines literally talks about a scenario that's exactly identical to yours. 

In addition, a USDA loan presents a weaker offer to the seller.The reason is that if your parents get this home under agreement today, but find a much better home - a *perfect* home - tomorrow, they could walk away at the expense of their EMD and not a dime more.If I'm representing a seller and get identical offers with USDA and FHA financing, I'll recommend that my seller takes the FHA offer every time. 

Sales folks are great but the constant identical TK peddling posts aimed at the newer members is getting old to have read all the time too.

Your actions are identical with or without the 1031.  

@Peter Torres if you are basing your calculations on what the owner is telling you for income and expenses, I would suggest making your offer contingent upon viewing of their schedule E (like someone said earlier, you can tell them it's OK to black out their personal info except their name, and their other properties) and verification of the tenants leases.  

I would caution against waiving any of your usual criteria for renters, and make sure that all background checks and verifications are done by yourself in addition to whatever the 'credit repair' company does.

Investigate the Legal Regulations – Visit the city/county office and inquire the zoning verification.
