It's great that you both benefitted from the situation, but I've found that if you just simply help and serve others (not just in real estate but overall in life) this creates more opportunities for yourself and others.

I am a new investor and simply asked a question about my investment to get positive feedback yours on the other hand seems much more negative and condescending much like the PM so I won't pay much into it...

If your intent was simply to fix and sell and the rehab took that long -- well that just feels more like your intent was resale.But putting that aside for a minute if you're going move this into a venture where you don't continue 1031ing and will be selling with owner financing then I wouldn't bother with the 1031. 

Simply asking yourself, "what is the next step I need to take in order to reach my goal?"

People who ignore that the Fed has printed $10 Trillion dollars lately, think they are simply great investors and don't have a rabbits hope in a dog kennel of getting out of this one and will lose everything.And if you don't understand # 11, "Lord have mercy".
