Hey John I am just new to wholesaling and I want to start wholesaling but every video I saw or book I read on wholesaling says to not mention to the seller we are wholesalers, but probably is better off for everyone to be honest about what I am trying to do with the property, no matter if I am looking to assign it, do a 1031 exchange, use it as a rental, etc.

With that money we would like to do a 1031 exchange to continue growing her portfolio.

I think you will run into a related party issue rather than an LLC issue in regards to the 1031 exchange. 

As for title, you need to 1031 exchange under the same name as the relinquished property.

You can exchange ideas with your agent and have him work something out with the other side through conversations but once you all agree on a plan you MUST GET IT IN WRITING so everyone is legally bound and your EMD and interest are protected. 

I would recommend finding someone in your market who is already flipping and being a resource to them in exchange for knowledge.Wholesaling is a completely different business, with 80% of it being marketing and sales.

You are providing the seller a convenience1) The deal will not fall through because of financing contingency2) You can close faster than those neeeding financingIn exchange, the seller gives you a reduced price.

When you do a 1031 exchange, the property you purchase must be a like-kind investment, meaning you intend to hold it as a rental.

“Genius” me agreed to rent a house for them in exchange for fostering a few of my dogs (I run a dog rescue group.)

I've performed a few 1031's and had to pay initial fees.
