At the end of the day, you have multiple good options to choose from...it just comes down to identifying the one best for you at this point in your life. 

@Matt K.What I’ve read there are multiple requirements for a room to be a ”legal” bedroom.

My exposure looks like one or multiple evictions and 3 months worst case of lost time.

Mngt) I understand I will not be syndicating for multiple reasons, but where did you start?

They got the IT forensics teams involved....In fact if you had read the links in the article where the paragraph clearly stated that federal rulings have set a precedent that disagrees with the General Accounting Office's handling of the issue had it been handled in court.

The only reason my realtor wasn't involved, the potential renters drove by the address and called his number from the for sale sign.The obvious first thing to do is get his lock box off (I have seen a flip where they broke the lock box for a rental scam).

@Kevin Tuttle OK but the multiple properties that I own are free and clear when a tenant leaves I have no fear I have no mortgage to pay I do my minor repairs find another tenant And go back to making the same return Copy paste repeat buy a new property free and clear find Tennant when they leave no worries I owe nothing other than taxes and insurance at the start of the year

I would try to get comps from a broker (independent to the selling one) and verify all information from multiple sources.

As I browse Zillow for properties in Baltimore, MD, I see many houses with multiple bedrooms, selling for under $150,000 with mortgages of less than $700 a month.

With multiple tenants you are all on the deed as tenants owning a % interest in a particular piece of real estate.Any tenant has the option of doing a 1031, taking the cash, doing a partial 1031, or combining their 1031 with the other tenants.While changes in entity immediately prior to a sale and 1031, it is a very common practice to complete the 1031 exchange with the purchase of the replacement property and then change the entity structure to reflect ongoing goals/strategy.
