One person or one entity can only acquire a fixed number of conventional mortgages, and I am trying to avoid a situation in the future where conventional loans are no longer an option by finding unique opportunities now.

Plus you would also owe 25% taxes on that $100k you depreciated.As far as states chasing you down, I THINK only California and for some reason a unique east coast state like PA have strange  taxes/laws regarding 1031 exchanges. 

This isn't a unique situation. 

And everyone's financial profile is unique, resulting in unique rates/terms/etc - like a snowflake.Here's my point: You have to have the initial call with the home buyer and gauge their level of education on the home buying process and quickly fit their needs.

I've been a part of about seventy five 1031 exchanges and I can't answer this question, but it's a very unique strategy and I'm curious what others will say.

I think for most situations I would agree with a lot of y'all that as an investor and a landlord that a home warranty is probably not the route that I would go personally, however, I have what I feel like is a unique situation with this one property and wanted to get y'alls input on the potential value of a home warranty. 

.- the 5.5% comm loan you heard about is  prob a short term arm loan ...commercal loans  are  definitely  not  better/ lower than residential  ( unless you  locate  a  very unique  comm source )

@Thomas O'Donnell A home run is very unique to your market.

The reality is, there’s no “one size fits all” answer as to whether it’s a good time to buy or sell a home because everyone’s circumstances are unique.

So a bit of an interesting unique year.
