Everyone is so helpful & engaging.

They are usually people such as yourself engaging with others.

So if I engage in a lease option and the owner doesn't pay his taxes or even his mortgage do I the lessee have any protection on my option or can the lender just foreclose or the tax authority put a lien on the property.

So unless there are additional facts which were not disclosed, I would not recommend engaging in a 1031 exchange given your situation.

The agents they engage by motion do.

I recently got engaged and am lucky enough to have found a fiancee who is financially stable, we're currently saving about 80% of her salary to move in to a new house in 2 years.The plan starting in 2 years: We will have a sizable amount saved for a down payment, so my plan is to take about 15k, pay down my current mortgage and refinance (I estimated 120k, 30y, 4.5%).

I have used the allure planks in my own bathroom as well as in several remodels I have done.
