The sale of her primary residence would fall under Section 121 of the Internal Revenue Code ("121 Exclusion").  

Since at some point I lived in the house as a primary residence(albeit partially) is it possible to also take advantage of primary residence exclusion so only sale price - down payment - primary residence exclusion ends up in the 1031 exchange?

@Autumn Allen I know a handful of investors who use sub2s on preforeclosures almost exclusively.

If primary residence, you would likely have a capital gain exclusion so there'd be no tax.  

Our market has always been nice to good flippers though and likewise, we have a very big number of people who invest exclusively in rentals (SFH, multiunit and complexes) with good results!

Options include driving for dollars, absentee, probate, using listsource if you're not in a competitive market, buying lists that are exclusive for your market type (we partnered with a guy that does this) 3) Start a sustained direct mail campaign.

At the time, I sat down with my wife, and at first, all we can agree on is cutting the smaller items, and adding them up did not solve the problem.For instance we started by trying to eliminate cable TV, newspapers, cutting back on eating out by a half, what we came up with is not even enough to even balance the budget let alone pare down the large credit card and overdraft balances.

1st ruleof Housing Bubble: “This time will be different”.My experience inCanada with Toronto and Vancouver driving average house prices inwhole Canada is:- Available Data canbe and will be different, even in one Newspaper or TV station youhave different opinions and different charts.

The mountain communities can be exclusive and then to lock out the outsiders.
