So if each of your smaller buildings were $400K then in order to use both and fully defer all tax you'll need to purchase a building for at least $800K to absorb both of the sales.The 1031 process is a little detailed but that is what your QI is there for. 

You can learn, file, pay fees, get rejected, re-apply as many times as you want.Just because it doesn't appear complicated, doesn't mean its easy.

I guess the seller's attorney thought it wouldn't hurt to ask me...I agree re: being concerned about the HOA's lack of responsiveness.

I left the field of architecture to pursue a career in RE Development.

Shawndrika Hardie instead of wholesaling why not get your RE license?

Are you representing a buyer as a RE or are you buying it for yourself? 

Be very friendly and assuming you can pry a forwarding address out of them the day after they move I would file with Small Claims Court for all lost income up to the time it is re-rented.

Here, I know lots of RE agents including some acquaintances from high school, parents of long term friends, as well as some family friends. 

A number of investors in Austin will tell you that RE has been bid up to a point where the deals don't make sense and have moved on to smaller submarkets. 

OK ordering now, great recommendation and strangely (though I scour all RE podcasts) I haven't heard of it yet.
