Has anyone been in this particular situation with this software?

It's a nice niche with good potential profits and cash flow, if you spend the time and learn some of the particularities.

Either way, we'd be happy to share our knowledge experience with those who are interested in learning more about this particular deal or creative financing in general.Cheers and happy investing! 

First and foremost, get a great realtor that knows how to pull deeds and find the information for particular lots.

But particularly if you are already tight on cash flow, there is no harm in trying to free some up.

So confirming and discussing with your tax professional is a must.I think you have several options:1) seller financing2) installments sale @Thomas Rutkowski should be able to give more guidance hereIn terms of your 1031 question, I'm not clear on the specifics in your case, but in general, the new property must be identified within specific time-frames as well as the sale itself must happen within a particular time-frame.

However, in this particular case, the impetus for them to do this may take longer for a couple of reasons.

Besides tacitly giving the tenant the control by "confirming receipt" it also will require that I make a separate trip back to that property to inspect that particular unit on a date different than the others at the property I inspected on the planned day. 

I want to make sure I have this down: So you are saying with this type of loan, the lender will look at the property being purchased and then they will analyze the rent that I will get getting, and assuming that the rent at least covers the mortgage, they will be comfortable giving a loan on that particular property?

This particular law is pretty easy to understand so if he/she is not getting that, you should start to shop around for a new one.
