So, let's say the timeline fits and I could sell that house in a 1031 exchange, can I then use those proceeds to buy and renovate that property?

@Christian Nachtrieb - I'm using PML for entire purchase price and in some cases a portion (or all) of rehab funds needed for the project up to 70% of appraised ARV, so no other lender involved at that point and I do not put anything down.

I'd like to pay off my equity note right away, but it's not an urgent need, as long as buyer's payments cover my monthly nut ($250 equity loan, $300 taxes, $75 HOA).This seems like a puzzle to me - all the pieces are on the table, I just can't see how to fit them all together to complete the task.

Out of town rehabs need a third party inspector to be involved, and you need to find a benchmark of completed work for payments.

You'll just need some sort of proof that it is not fit for guests.

Hey it’s my first post on BP, i’m trying to get more involved on the forums and the site in general because i’ve heard from almost everyone on the podcasts that it’s been a tremendous help for them.

I really don't have any information or advice I can share with you, and it would frankly be really unprofessional of me to speculate on any past issues involving another party.  

@Jake Fugman I don't have any referrals in the space you're looking for but you can just punch in "YOUR CITY or AREA" plus "ATTORNEY" into the search window above and check out a few people's past endorsements to get a broader scope of professionals and to zero in on someone that fits your ticket.

Louis that fit this?

All depend which program fit your need and will profitable to you as an investor.
