Hello all. Hope I can learn some good information on here.

we build ground up and don't collateralize anything. we build at a discount in Columbus Ohio and we build cheaper than every builder I've seen in our market and because of that we make each person self fund a retainer account. we don't extend any credit to anyone. opposite of what you are saying. builders that bring value call the shots. 

The IRS has a “same taxpayer” requirement for tax tracking – if the same person or entity is exchanging, it’s easy.If not, we’ll have to bring in our structuring attorney to ensure the right steps are taken to maintain 1031 eligibility.

I have asked if someone is teaching this offer structure and one person said it's common in land and the other explained it as a win-win situation. 

I personally know this landlord and have had sit-down conversations with him periodically over the last few years. 

Hostaway said that the people they work with usually use their personal bank account or business account link to stripe.

Personally, I prefer a new build over rehab just because you know what you've got on it, but it doesn't always make sense money-wise. 

The person who is doing our remodeling work doesn't accept our mode of money transfer(like zelle or bank to bank transfer) and requires checks.

If the pest control could put a  bait box at the outside front and back of your own personal townhouse, it would probably treat for all the mice in the immediate area, but I don't know if that's even allowed in a condo community.I would get a few other residents to bring it to the HOA. 

Unlike personal property, real estate also requires agreement on closing date, repairs, etc., so even if list price, cash is offered, another term might not work, so likely no way to hold a seller to sell until they actually sign an offer.
