Now the most logical decision would be to move into Unit 2 once her lease is up in April, but she has been there for 9 years and doesnt want to leave and Unit 2 has stated they would move out sooner if possible to get a bigger apartment.

I think she is just freaking out with anxiety and fear, and not thinking logically.

I've never done a 1031, but understand the logic and benefit behind them.

No logic in solar at all in those situations.

You can approach the negotiation from 2 logical ways-1. price per sq/ft - and reflect new sq ft to get to price2. look up recent comps for the square footage that houses sold (i.e. your appraisal will have this).

Just stay logical and listen to the numbers.

So what’s the flaw in my logic?

Since you are investing remotely you will want boots on the ground and logic says why not conduct all your services under one roof. 

I don't see the logic behind why they couldn't provide a list of say 100-500 properties for a fee..am I missing something here or is this just another case people not liking to see other people make good money? 

Their logic is that real estate investors buy up property and make it unaffordable for the average people who want to live in an area.Oddly enough I have seen this argument here in parts of Omaha, which seems laughable considering there is a huge supply of housing here priced under $100,000.
