I am currently selling on ebay and I just applied at a local arts and crafts store to get some income for REI. 

Tax rates will be different for Georgia but he has some great memory aides that helped me.

Best to consult an accountant with cross border real estate and business expertise to get a full understanding of how you should hold (own) any Canadian properties to best fit your situation and mitigate tax liabilities.DispositionAs a non-resident, when you sell a property, you must notify the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) pretty much immediately (something like 7-10 days if memory serves) to obtain a certificate of compliance.  

In this you would be wise to work with your accountant to use documentation to memorialize your intent to "hold the property for productive use in business trade or for investment".  

When you can afford to not have a paycheck for 3-12 months and it not bring your entire house of cards downI've been full-time for 2yrs but I live in a duplex, have no debt except student loans, and spent years honing my craft at living below the poverty so can easily survive leaner times if they occur.

It's hard to be the best at your craft if you only do it part time or a few deals a year.

Crafting it like two reverses might be almost as cost effective.  5 -10K is a good estimate.I got from your first post that it is the risk of not finding the perfect replacement property that is scaring you from just doing a straight exchange and cutting that expense by 90%.  

A relative of ours who owns & manages a number of commercial properties reminded me at our Memorial Day BBQ ...."

Every home has a memory for me, sometimes good, sometimes bad.
