In using Craigslist to obtain leads for tenant positions, what has been the result on first impression and post-rental?

End result is probably going to be a disaster looking at the amount of scope you have there. 

.), but such a mis-match is still not what you'd set out to do.  

Opportunity Zones can be used to minimize tax payments or even reduce to zero.Opportunity Zones were created under the TCJA to; Allow U.S. investors to defer all 2018 capital gains for eight years if the profits are reinvested and held in an Opportunity ZoneLower the amount of capital gains taxes resulting from the sale of a capital asset by 10% or 15% if the proceeds therefrom are held for five or seven years, respectively, in an Opportunity Zone project.Provide for a full exemption from capital gains taxes on all future capital gains on the invested funds if an investment is held for ten years following investment.

I've thought about a match!

Then I would cover living room with new area rug, leaving tag on, put a great new doormat in outside and inside, add a runner in the main hall and a matching in one in the kitchen...give them some Casters for under furniture in bedrooms...

The specs dont match up.

I don't find this to be true in practice but I'm sure it happens.End result: Don't fear the MLS :)

The end result is that you must be able to reinvest everything, including the value of the note, in order to defer all of your taxes.
