@Jesse Daconta There are several cap gain mitigational and deferral techniques on stock sales but not 1031

I think its valuable to caution toward single employer cities until you can get more data to either mitigate or move on.

Contractors are for the most part sleazy, you want to mitigate this by paying them AFTER work is complete. 

Dealing with the CA Fees was not pleasant ($54,000 in fees for building, planning, utilities, school, city parks, regional parks, traffic mitigation, KANGAROO RAT and on and on...).

Systems in place like this mitigate risk.

To mitigate fees, have a maximum of three draws for your project.

So far we have found ways of mitigating issues with supply short falls (windows, etc)

When the pipe burst and flooded the basement of my personal home, I had to deal with contacting the insurance agent, the water mitigation team, the plumber, and when it was found out that I had ASBESTOS underneath the tile floors(do your research on that!!!!)

It would be a hard no for me because I'm all about mitigating risk.

They are purchased with long-term debt/cash flow at the on-set to mitigate the risk, but I always look to exchange any time I can fit them into the 1031 rules... a few days, a few months, or over a year... when every it can work for a better trade.
