You need to get things balanced out and your new financial life rolling along in a predictable and affordable way.

I'd prefer online since there are still those late days where the military demands my presence, and they never seem to be predictable which makes scheduling classes difficult.

I'm seeing things become a little more predictable with values in appraisals but I think that's mostly because we've seen so much appreciation in my market.

They have kids, predicting they will be late for June as well.

I have another question though:When determining a rental property, I am predicting 10% of the rent for vacancy and 5% for repairs depending on the condition of the house.

If they put the 1031 into something with predictable passive cash flow net of expenses then you have predictable income with which to leverage your construction business but at the same time they keep their 1031tax deferral intact.A big key to this would be for them to invest in debt free instruments that qualify for 1031 treatment but minimize risk and concentrate the risk into the endeavor with you. 

That being said, zillow and other price prediction tools often pull the data from the assessors records.

Additionally, you have to be a market wizard and predict a down market for a withdrawal to even come close to making sense (and it still doesn't). 

I was hoping to organize regular inspections with my PM, but it would be nice to formalize it a bit and make predictions about upcoming major expenses. 

Lol... if only it were that easy to predict..... but such is the risk......
