I would love to exchange ideas, strategies, and networks with you guys (except I'm afraid the latter is still not very large at all)!

I have no money to contribute at the moment, but I could definitely work my hungry little butt off for someone in exchange for education for my improvement.From what I just glanced at, there isn't much rent info I can find for Calhoun, but for the city over in the same county, SFH seem to be in the lower 100k's (anywhere from 110k to 160k) and 3b/2 are renting for around 1100/1300.

But as for the no money down, it happens all the time with 1031 exchange money.

When caps compress 1% more in my area, I'm selling and exchanging to a new market entirely.  

The roommate wants to stay but claims that he paid the majority of the bills in exchange for the Security Deposit paid by the roommate who moved out.  

I dont want them exchanging contact info and me get excluded?

-BiggerPockets is a great medium for BiggerPockets members who are also real estate investors who also use Google Voice to network and exchange ideas on a tool like Google Voice that they use.Hopefully, that sheds some light on your three concerns :)

Such a joint venture would need to be very rigid in nature, and there could be no transactions or exchange of benefit between either party.Both parties would need to purchase an asset jointly on day one.  

You should be able to get a prorated tax-free exclusion for the 573 days that you lived in the property as your primary residence as long as those 573 days were during the last 60 months (five years).You would only qualified for a 1031 Exchange transaction if you had moved out of the property and held it as rental, investment or business use property for a period of time to show/demonstrate that you did in fact have the intent to hold the property for investment purposes.
