Their agent did them a disservice or they all knew what was going to happen (looking for the 1 in a million buyer, not caring about the data or neighborhood to put up that kind of money) just to "test it"So ask yourself this question...are you testing, or are you selling? 

Well, queue predictable eye roll following bad decisions - we broke up some time ago and it's not going well.

(1) $1.63M minus closing costs minus $500,000 (because we can take that as cash, tax-free, and it doesn't count as boot), with a loan of at least $450,000 b/c that's how much we had outstanding on the current property(2) Only the net (let's just say like $1M, forgetting about closing costs right now, just for math's sake), minus $500,000 (because we can take that as cash, tax-free, and it doesn't count as boot), so that's about $500k that must be rolled into the new qualified property... plus we need a loan of at least $450,000 b/c that's how much we had outstanding on the current property, so we're looking at a property of about $950k-ish(3) A totally different amountTHANK YOU

I think the trick it to try it, test it, and if it works, keep doing it.

It may be too late now if you already shot your credit but one thing you can do is open up more credit cards and keep rolling 0% balance transfer offers to various cards. 

Just finished my online school (Real Estate Express) and I am currently in line to do my final test then to get my licensure exam and license.

And throw the condition of the property in your face the second you ask for rent on time or they may even try to skip a month and test you.. 

Ask for an updated rent roll now before you give notice so you have updated rent, lease terms, etc. 

I got 96 rolls of tp, 2000 plastic forks and 1000 styro plates at a scholarship auction for about $40. 

Hope that helps.Pete, that's how we roll too and it's okay with many - maybe 60% of the tenants pay water like clockwork directly to the municipality, 20% pay when reminded and 20% have issues and I end up paying for it with taxes and then collecting from them.
