I don't have a solution to that. 

I ended up calling Royal Legal Solutions (podcast guest #109 on asset protection). 

I had a question and was going to post it here before talking to my CPA. We have a house we took subject to the existing financing earlier this year. At the end of this year, I assume the previous owner is going to re...

The tax treatment is entirely different, just as it is different investing in stocks with taxable and non-taxable funds.The real question to ask as an investor is this: "If I understand real estate as an asset class, can I generate better results for my tax-sheltered retirement savings than if I left it in the stock market?"

If you plan to use a GA property as the relinquished property in a 1031 exchange, GA will not allow 1031 tax treatment if the replacement property is outside GA and profit on the sale of that property will be taxable on your GA tax return.. 

So far working good but not a perfect or scaleble solution. 

But,  I have seen big RE company that deduct thousands of dollars as an abandonment loss rather than adding those thousands of dollars to a new property, which would be wrong treatment. 

I know it's all about solutions when trying to help a seller get motivated so maybe I should just try and find out the story on owner/property first?

@Jason Turo I have used pretty much any lock out there and must say Lockstate currently beats all products on the market and is the first smart wifi lock or product for that matter, that got officially promoted and supported by Airbnb, VRBO and the channel management solutions such as Beds24.I use Lockstate in all our rentals in Germany, Tuscany, and the USA.

not that I know if - landlords that want to work with us as a short term vacancy solution send us their availability and then we can quote their property - this is mainly for apartments - single family houses and condos utilize chbo, which is a good company - I know the owners directly
