I have owned my own construction company and have renovated many homes for other investors.

The total infrastructure project was a $50 Billion investment, all from private companies.

The 1031 X company has told me I can use the $130,000 towards the carriage house portion of the purchase and first must contact my CPA to write up a document saying how the PP of the entire new property will be split up as primary and investment property and 1031 x portion will only go towards CH.So far, so good.

These larger wholesale companies are a joke.

This is what you should be doing in order to comply with fair housing laws too, treat everyone the same and have set company policies that you never deviate from for anyone. 

I can see your point, but it would still look fake, and guests want genuine for a variety of reasons! 

Transfer it to a company like quest or advanta or another ra that allows you to self direct it and control the investment Just be aware of self dealing and make sure you use a property manager etc.

Hey everyone,I am looking to rent out my first property, and am wondering what kind of criteria/questions I should have prepared when screening Property managers. In the long run I'd like to do the management myself, ...

What I've had success with... search the cad site in the county you're looking in for company extensions, Llc for example.  

I ran a title search with a title company before the purchase.
