Now that my overactive mind has had a chance to relax after getting all of that ^^ out after a couple of intense days of twisting and turning ideas and insomnia, I'm realizing that while the whole TIC + 121 + 1031 exercise was helpful in that it brought us to a spot where we came up with the idea for how to take the $500k cap gains exclusion from the sale of just the upper, I see now that the whole 1031 motivation that inspired all of this thinking isn't actually necessary/beneficial.

You are right, there usually is no need to physically meet with the world of technology we have.

A rent credit is easily forgotten as the renter never really "sees" it or "experiences" it physically. 

I expect that this online service would likely fall outside of those lenders' approved lists, at least for now.Also, this approach would produce a different physical end product than the traditional signature, stamp, and ID checking process.  

For my money in a market like ours, the game is all about starting with a safe floor and exercising excellence in management to increase returns.  

., you are exercising independent judgment with respect to the rental and not simply ratifying decisions made by a manager, then, you may deduct up to $25,000 of real estate losses in a given tax year if your modified adjusted gross income (basically your non-real estate related income, with a few tweaks) is less than $100,000.  

You can only use the VA loan on one home at a time, so the lease option buyer will need to exercise the option & purchase before they will be able to use their VA loan again.

The taxes were not paid for 2015 or 2016 and the only address listed is in the tax records is the homes physical address. 

Although I'm not physically in Syracuse right now, I've lived there for several years and bought my first house within Syracuse city last year.

I know that there is a point that I need to walk away from the property, but I want to exercise my mind by trying to come up with other solutions.
