I am listening to the podcast daily and practicing deal analysis with some spreadsheets I found online.

I have my license and practiced actively in commercial brokerage for a few years before leaving the firm to focus on my investing activities along with others.  

No doubt, this is very good practice for you.

Only because it's a questionable practice, in some state illegal, and even this is negative to you but sometimes an adverse comment is in YOUR best interest - - certainly not mine.

Hi @Alvin NazarioBest practice is always to be honest.

"      I like to say this ,   " Sure , but I would get the kit with the paint by numbers to practice on before you buy a nice canvas "    

I recognize this as standard business practice and don't see why you can't do the same.

Obviously that was indiscreet but all agents want to sell you a property so I wouldn't preclude him just on that basis.I think it's bad practice to rely on any RE agent for rent comps, they are inheiranty biased and likely to highball rent comps in my experiece.  

And unless you can manage a simultaneous exchange you'll need to get a withholding certificate from the IRS.

You can try to push it thru but you run the risk of buyer due diligence opening the wounds and exposing you as the seller for not addressing Which may lead to the buyer questioning other seller practices that may be quality.
