The rest are all pretty straightforward.The yard for me is questionable, but it depends on the lease, if it's enumerated in the lease (renter/tenant will be responsible for maintaining the yard) and you have before and after pictures, you should be ok in charging the securty deposit.

Great discussion you are going to start here, I am very excited to see all the responses.

It's not uncommon to have the sale followed by the purchase in just a few days or even simultaneously.Another option that would have been available to you would have been a reverse exchange where your qualified intermediary takes title to the new property and holds it in a special purpose entity until you have closed your sale and then you take title.

My agent told me that we still have to wait for the banks response before we can close or not.

Thank you for your responses.

But in reality, the price you paid for the property is completely meaningless and irrelevant (except for tax purposes, which are minor in this case).

One of my next steps is to run a teaser Craigslist ads to determine how quickly and how much response you get.  

So I've asked this on numerous FB groups and have gotten little, to no, response.

For purposes of feedback, let's assume the property is: - 4BR/2BA single family residence- 2-car tandem garage- near SF state and public transportation- big back yard/patioThank you for your feedback!

For personal/professional reasons, we would prefer the public didn't know what specific stock we are investing in.Having said that, is it permissible/legal for my wife and I to create an LLC for the sole purpose of keeping our names private?
