@Tommy Sowell, buying down in value in a 1031 whether by taking cash from the sale direct or by taking a lower mortgage has the same consequence.  

The other consequence is that going forward your replacement property's depreciation basis differs for federal taxes and PA taxes, so you have to remain aware of that when preparing tax returns. 

They will likely perform well for you, they're just sort of mediocre deals.But a 28 unit went on the market recently at closer to a 1.8 RV ratio and I ended up in a bidding war with 2 other investors on it.There is some building going on now but not a lot and as a consequence the rental market is very tight.

You take over the rentals, stop selling and file as "married filing separately".Fully discuss with your CPA doing your taxes to get this done w/o adverse consequences.

But I mean atleast the White House is telling them “there will be consequences”  

Not sure if that would trigger any tax consequences.

Neither the tax consequences nor the hard work of flipping is consistent with what they teach, in my limited experience.  

And if you make a miscalculation, the consequence would be more than any starter investor can handle.

I left them up.Some of my signs stay in some locations for 5 – 6 weeks at a time so taking them down just doesn’t really make sense to me especially since there is no consequence for leaving them there.Unlike @Seth Teel, I have had tremendous success generating revenue from bandit sign marketing and always have and always will recommend it to wholesalers as a tool to get the phone ringing.

But, if the listing says you can not enter.... then you would technically be trespassing - BUT... it is your money at stake - so therefore your decision - and you who will pay the consequences -Go in - -- and possibly face a trespassing charge.Stay out - -- and face whatever property condition you encounter after you have made the purchase.good luck
