Hey @Dave Foster, as someone who plans on selling on a 1031 exchange in the next 12 months, I have a question:  in the scenario for the buyer you outlined above, it doesn't seem particularly beneficial to the seller, because if they keep the note outside the exchange they're paying taxes on a boot that they wouldn't have if they got a different buyer who could meet their price, or they're having to replace with outside cash the note inside the exchange.If I were the seller (and like I said, I will be in the next 12 months) I wouldn't like either of those outcomes. 

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

I need one assp I have a Lease Agreement Plan through my law firm, but it's only for Florida properties. 

**Contingency Planning:** What is your strategy if you need to repossess the property?

I plan to buy a duplex soon to begin my real estate journey.

Unless you were planning to do them anyways. 

Would you lend your own money to someone that is planning to buy an investment property, but has no experience managing one?

Rising insurance costs are probably the number one driver right now of our overall expenses.

The mortgage servicer is putting it up for auction so we plan to buy it there.

We plan to sell and use the $500k exception to the capital gains taxes because we lived there for two years.
