The purpose of a 1031 is so you are not taxed on any gains on a property so long as you replace it with a property(ies) of the same value or more.  

I am a New Real Estate Agent who fell in love with the RE investment world, so I’m looking to buy our (husband and I) first investment property, in the area I want to is so expensive right now, so we decide to look in another market that is 30 minutes commute from this location and we are looking to do house hack in this property.

There is so much to learn from here.

Family is typically not responsible for debt, but the estate is.   So

@Brian Cheng - never easy, but constructive feedback is so helpful.

@Ryan Brady my lease says that fees are paid before rent is. So

There is so much information here at BP that is beyond valuable.

We just had a bought of mouse encroachment; couple traps solved the problem, but if the tenant is so unkempt as to attract vermin then something would have to be done.Good luck and I look forward to learning what you do :)

I am not sure why there is so much pessimism of people wanting this thing to come.

Since the debt is so cheap you having low interest rates that are locked in will keep your rates low as well as allowing you to still cash flow through the recession.
