To simply say manage is a broad scope of business but is also rather limiting as you may want to buy and immediatley sell a property sometime, that may not meet the scope of business to be conducted and thereby lose the benifits of your LLC if something blows up in such a transaction.Just saying, I prefer to cover the bases specifically, buy, sell, trade, exchange, construct, repair, improve, demolish, develope, lease, sub-let and manage, borrow, advance or lend money and to do all other things necessary and/or related thereto as allowed by law.Doesn't mean you must do those things, just that if you do, it is within the scope of your regular business to be conducted.

it's kind of funny because when I was a renter, I ALWAYS got reduced rent in exchange for doing work on the property - I've put in tile floors, done plumbing, painting, treework, landscaping, you name it...

When you find that person, I would offer to work for them for free doing their grunt work and being their assistant in exchange for some of their knowledge.

From that post the law was quoted as: "Anyone who, for compensation, sells, offers to sell, buys or offer to buy, or negotiates the purchase or sale or exchange of real estate...leases or offers to lease or rents or offers to rent any real estate or improvements thereon is required to hold a real estate license."3.

I am puzzled as to what my options are or on how my exchange would work?

I don't want to do a 1031 exchange, I don't want to a seller finance...what other creative financing options are there that will allow me to save on taxes.    

3 in exchange for no more split payments.

I was factoring batching the walls and retexturing and painting separately (as part of the cosmetic rehab budget), but soil erosion is a foreign concept to me.

You then say.. here you go you pumbah, read my blog and see all my friggin rehabs.To which the seller will say, OMG you amazing  foreigner you, please take my money now!

For example if you open a LLC in Nevada but your business if located in Colorado then Colorado will have you "re-register"  as whats called a foreign corporation (a company that was not originally incorporated in Colorado) "foreign corporation" or LLC will subject you to all the same taxes and fees as an in-state company.
