@Laura WilliamsAnother thing you can try is getting a cheap thermal camera that attaches to an iPhone.

It has an attached garage, 3 bedroom bungalow so 1 room upstairs and 2 rooms downstairs, 1.5 bathrooms, and freshly renovated (not sure if that even matters).

The homeowners were attached to their home, and asked to interview my brother and I before sale.

It sounds like you are willing to pay more than the house is worth simply because you are attached to it already.

I just sent out the email today with the NOtice to Quit attached, to be out by the 31st of this month.

You are essentially attaching potential liability to your new investment, and you will probably need to investment in amending the Operating Agreement anyway.

Wholesalers are known to be very generous with their listed spreads and ARVs so you'll want to verify anything you receive from a wholesaler because 95% of what they send usually has embellished numbers.

Could this new equity interest be attached to a 1031 exchange, allowing me to defer the total value from the property and the equity if I sell it, and possibly defer again? 

I did not use an agent, I made signs with my number and attached them to the building.

Is it possible to 1031 into a business purchase if there is real estate attached?
