(besides online to pay for it)Thx!

Cleveland is a great place to get started because the real estate is cheaper than a lot of places around the country and you'll very easily be able to live for free and even make money if you're doing it right.

I am always happy to give you a 100% free consult IF you decide to do a 1031.  

I'm happy to walk you through a free consultation. 

Considering you currently have 0% household expenses, I believe this should actually be less risky if you currently live for free. 

Feel free to connect with me and I will lend you my expertise with investment real estate.

I have had no problems with the big box stores delivering.If you order online then UPS or FedEx should deliver.

You can find videos/articles online on how to get the basement dry, but the basic process is: 1) turn off all electric to the basement (to avoid electrocution from the water), 2) run pumps to get the standing water out of the basement (sounds like you're already doing this)3) remove all furniture and items from the basement,4) once you've pumped out the standing water from the basement, rent a wet/dry carpet cleaner/extractor from home depot, and use it to extract as much water as possible from the carpets (they'll be much lighter and easier to move once you get the water out). 5) After you've used the carpet extractor to get most of the water out of the carpet, remove all carpet and get it out of the house for drying (if you're trying to salvage the carpets), or throw the carpet out.

Try thinking of the situation in their shoes, why would you let Timothy have this house for free and keep the mortgage in your name?
