, it's a helpful indicator to keep reading to books, listening to podcasts, engaging on forums like this and talking (in person) with members of the community... until you more clearly define your WHY and WHAT.

I've been keeping track of Bigger Pockets for some time, and just now decided that I should start engaging the community.

@Chris Virgil-StoneGenerally the taxpayer who owns both the real estate asset being disposed and the replacement real estate asset must be the same.  1031 exchanges are easy to bust if you handle them the wrong way and don't have solid knowledge of the applicable code, regs, and case law.The questions you're asking are good and your thinking is on the right track, but they are advanced planning and structuring questions that are best directed to a tax professional you've engaged who can have the deep conversation with you and understand your facts, circumstances, and goals.

Second question from there... " An independent broker-sole proprietor must be a broker-in-charge to lawfully engage in most brokerage activities."

That will allow you to stay engaged with the property, move the needle, and give you the freedom to acquire more parks. 

@Selorm OclooHonestly I would save that money and instead educate yourself on a type of real estate investing you want to engage in.

I'd also encourage you to get out to some of the local real esate investor meet ups and to schedule coffee sessions or the like with some of the players here in town. 

The universe seems to have kept me here in the near term, so I needed to figure out a way to afford living here.My commute affords me the ability to catch 1 or 2 BP podcasts daily - in between Duolingo sessions, so I've been trying to learn the best I can over the past 6 months to a year.

(a) A real estate broker within the meaning of this part is also a person who engages as a principal in the business of making loans or buying from, selling to, or exchanging with the public, real property sales contracts or promissory notes secured directly or collaterally by liens on real property, or who makes agreements with the public for the collection of payments or for the performance of services in connection with real property sales contracts or promissory notes secured directly or collaterally by liens on real property.
