Ashley will present various strategies and provide a structure for finding a first investment, but she will also have a lecture dedicated to making offers/negotiating, and a whole lecture on partnerships, and then another one on funding.

Your particular DM "effort" had not been presented previously,  but it's easy to see why it did not work out as others have pointed out.I'm sorry you way overpaid for your list, but most can tell you just one and done isn't going to produce much...what we're talking about is not much like a vending machine; more like farming.

I'd just like to clarify that 'chopping block' is a proposal to cap deferred GAIN at $500k, like the 121 forgiveness of up to $500k of gain from the sale of a primary res. 

If you want to use delayed financing without 6 months of seasoning, you can sometimes present receipts and payments to contractors to show the improved value of the property above purchase price if you want to cash out refi at 75 LTV before 6 months of seasoning.

Time value of deferring taxes can be powerful.  

It is a few bucks, I would mention that normally it would have been July 1, so you'd already deferred it for 2 months due to the renos. 

The “cost basis” is a little complicated, but essentially you’ll owe taxes on....1) the depreciation recapture and cap gain you deferred on the sold property, plus2) depreciation recapture and cap on the replacement property you are now selling.Remember, a 1031 simply Defers reporting of the gain.

At some point you will want to do a deferred mortgage and get your cash (plus) out. 

I had the following question to determine if I am still within the window to take advantage of deferring my taxes or not.

I'm not familiar with the markets in Jacksonville but will defer to you and a local realtor to assess what type of investment would help you achieve your goal within a realistic timeline.
