My wife and I have been keeping our eye on houses and lots around Canton/Ball Ground. 

I have a similar issue right now, I may require that I finance it so as to defer the tax bite.My understanding with a 1031 is that tax is deferred not avoided, when you sell the traded property that appreciates over the years you really get hit unless you keep that ball rolling, but someday, Uncle will get his due from a 1031.I agree that a tenant in there will help justify your position.

In other words what recourse is listed in case of a default on the agreement.Someone dropped the ball if this is a whole house system.The seller should have been made to sign a statement that the system is paid for and no amount is owed.No legal advice given. 

RMLOs are not trained in underwriting, weighing compensating factors, assessing credit histories or the crystal ball approach with stress testing for risks.

Both  a slightly higher temperature for the water, and a low flow shower head.

I knew people who made one hundred low ball offers hoping to get one accepted.

Right now we are 15k apart in the negotiations, we will find out if the seller wants to play ball when we hear their counter to our latest offer. 

It may take a few years (or not) but I decided to at least get the ball rolling.  

At 25, you don't have the expertise or knowledge to play on that playground, like a grade school kid playing ball with a high school ball team. 

That's a different ball game.
