We plan on selling one and doing a 1031 for about $70K equity from one of those homes and utilizing that to fund our undivided interest in a TIC.

Hi!Can anyone give me a rough estimate of a fee comparison of buying into a DST vs buying a private RE deal? Looks like the DST has fairly high fees with 11% right away for acquisition/marketing/commissions/etc and th...

I'm also looking into purchasing something soon, a 1031 exchange, so I have timelines to follow.

Just because an investor is selling a deal doesn't mean it's a bad one they're trying to dump.Many times they have other goals and may simply be doing a 1031 exchange into a larger property.

Good luck since we both jus starting we should definitely exchange information to help each other if you don't mind.

Came to WI with a student exchange and got stuck somehow :)With fiberglass, if yo have a proper vapor barrier behind it, it shouldn't start stinking and rotting - in theory.

if you were trying to do a 1031 exchange at that moment and just had your 45 days you would be pretty unhappy about selling. 

I guess I could do a 1031, right?

Do i guarantee a percentage increase in value... do i exchange it for profit sharing in the business or perhaps just ask for a higher yearly rent to make up for it?

I wouldn't do anything on "her land",only if I owned it outright.She is obviously doing nothing with it and can't afford it so,she needs to sell it to you if she wants the taxes paid in full.Come up with some firm building plans and the financing to pay for it and then go to her and offer her a percentage of the profits till she dies in exchange for ownership now.With 25 acres,I would be building nice apartment buildings for that area and charging market rent.Dump the ball fields and other garbage and start with a full clean slate.
