I still have to get the official inspection on the property, but I had a few of my licensed contractors come analysis the property yesterday and they said everything on the inside is in perfect condition, as it's all-new but there are some issues on the outside and the roof.

@Kathy Henley what @Jason Theus is describing is a different method that you are describing.Jason, there have been other posts about the product you are speaking on but I have not wanted to comment on it officially. 

(idk how many units makes you official, but 11 sounds good when i say it ;)lol  ) I've had a few hiccups and growing pains as i've transitioned to this new level.

(a)(1) In order to obtain the redemption of land from tax sales where the same has been sold to one other than the state, the party desiring to make such redemption shall deposit with the judge of probate of the county in which the land is situated the amount of money for which the lands were sold, with interest payable at the rate of eight percent per annum from date of sale, and, on the portion of any excess bid that is less than or equal to 15 percent of the market value as established by the assessing official, together with the amount of all taxes which have been paid by the purchaser, which fact shall be ascertained by consulting the records in the office of the tax collector, or other tax collecting official, with interest on the payment at eight percent per annum.  

Mauldin has announced a city center within walking distance of the house, so if that goes through I'd hope our property value increases and hopefully with that rental rates. 

The moment that was announced Oregon State University announced an expansion of their facility in Newport or. a 60 million dollar facility!

Before the new jobs announcements, before the last 2 years insane growth.

I think it's very hard to argue that a property held for 1 year is a long-term investment.While there is no official time requirement, many people feel comfortable with one year of holding for investment purposes is enough to show intent that the investor is not just "flipping inventory" which would not be eligible for a 1031.

*I am aware that a detailed official discussion will still need to be had with an attorney I just wanted to get a general consensus to see if people have gone through similar experiences.

This can come in the form of pictures, reports, testimonials,  recommendations from city officials or anything to help you build your case before the board.
