The Treasury Regulations are very clear that a Qualified Intermediary is not permitted to release the 1031 Exchange funds unless certain events have occurred such as the 45 calendar day identification period passing or the 180 calendar day exchange period passing.

Let them know that you are "considering a purchase" and would like to find out about any regulations that could affect you.Each market may have different regulations.

It's important that there be only one investor and one loan in order to conform to the DRE regulations related to fractionalized notes.If one of them doesn't have enough money to do the deal by themselves, you can engage a private money broker with the proper licenses to arrange for two or more investors to do a fractionalized note, you just can't do it without the properly licensed person.Another way to structure it is as a private placement. 

Wouldn't standard procedure be to run all tenants through your screening process on renewal and not renew the ones that failed to meet your minimum requirements?  

Chad:  Ironically, the Schedule 1 banks are not getting that lenient - the government has even pulled back the qualification and other regulations to where they were a decade ago to try and prevent a fiasco akin to what the U.S.A. suffered though in 2008/2009.I too am also very surprised, and wonder if the bank has placed a second (HELOC) on the other property, but perhaps a registered lien in Québec is sufficient to secure their position.Lisa - are you dealing with Desjardins?

Any laws or regulations here that would make it difficult (did a general search and could not find anything).
