Now some are on 1031 exchanges so they have to give some on value  to meet time requirement goals.

What if they agree to cover extra expenses (large repairs) in exchange for you keeping rents low?

Just exchanging information?

Hi all, been reading and listening to specific podcasts for probably 3 months now. Selling my home at literally the best time I could have, purely by luck because the decision to move was made a year ago. Ultimately I...

The buyer will like to forfeit $400 of the repair credits in exchange for the signature (I am not making this up).

This allows you to do a whole number of things including using the deferred tax to further your investments just like an IRA but not in an IRA - compound interest.But 1031 exchanges can do ever so much more!  

Another option is to offer to catch them up on taxes in exchange for a percentage of ownership in the property.  

In exchange for me taking title to the home, I'll be giving her a $27k cash cushion to pay off bills.

If your intent is primarily to sell the property (fix n flip) then when you sell you will pay ordinary income tax on the sale and do not have the option to do a 1031 exchange and defer all tax.If your intent is to hold that property for investment use (like you suggested - actually rent it and enjoy the income) then it would qualify for a 1031 exchange. 

I had to kick in a grand, but in exchange I'm rid of 36 months of a $400 payment.
