Hi all,I've been all over these forum posts trying to find this answer and I keep going back and forth on whether it can or can't be done, so decided to reach out to some of you experts here.I'm trying to figure out if a seller, that is trying to do a 1031 exchange, can seller finance the down payment on their current property that they are wanting to sell?

@Drew Cameron hmm, this is an interesting post since you are a lender that writes FHA loans...but ok. 

Keep us posted on how everything goes.

Nelson Nash developed the concept in the early 80s but the product the concept utilizes has been around for much, much longer.Since you brought up term insurance (which is temporary w/ no cash value accumulation or dividends), oftentimes a policy will be supplemented by term insurance in the form of a rider that allows one to increase their death benefit such that they can store more cash in their policy without triggering IRS MEC limits and therefore be subject to tax hits.The concept and its value proposition is incredibly misunderstood (and sadly often abused) but the reality is it works.

Thanks for the post.

And if I was one of your clients, I would much rather you put your energy into defending me in court, then learning how to properly patch, sand, tape, and prep the walls for painting.I personally have painted a couple of my own projects, but I had the time and somewhat knowledge and experience, and also had run to the bottom of my budget at those times.A few tips/comments which may be helpful:*  As someone else previously posted - gets multiple quotes (3-5)* Ask you fellow realtor friends/associates for painter referrals* Check NextDoor.com for painter referrals* Go to the professional paint stores (Dunn-Edwards, Benjamin Moore, etc) and ask them for referrals.

When I am ready with the numbers I will post them somewhere in the forums for feeedback!

@Adam SchneiderRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder, etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Old post I'm going to tack onto.
