Engaging a builder in a pre-construction agreement will help prevent you from being disqualified by the contractor.

If you have substantial assets, you should engage an attorney familiar with asset protection (and ideally estate planning) to mitigate this risk.

I'm so excited to be here and engage with this community.

I've been keeping track of Bigger Pockets for some time, and just now decided that I should start engaging the community.

@Chris Virgil-StoneGenerally the taxpayer who owns both the real estate asset being disposed and the replacement real estate asset must be the same.  1031 exchanges are easy to bust if you handle them the wrong way and don't have solid knowledge of the applicable code, regs, and case law.The questions you're asking are good and your thinking is on the right track, but they are advanced planning and structuring questions that are best directed to a tax professional you've engaged who can have the deep conversation with you and understand your facts, circumstances, and goals.

Just use the Laminate plank itself but GLUE it to the tread.

Second question from there... " An independent broker-sole proprietor must be a broker-in-charge to lawfully engage in most brokerage activities."

That will allow you to stay engaged with the property, move the needle, and give you the freedom to acquire more parks.
