Just throwing this out there to see what kind of responses I can get.

All my parks send me some kind of certified funds (money order, certified check, etc.) to my P.O.

My name is Mark Cadle and I kind of lucked accidentally into Real Estate Rentals. 

I analyze deals, read books, learn from the forums, network, visit properties on a weekly if not daily basis.I will do as suggested and ask him to show me where the real estate professional designation is necessary. 

"like kind" in a 1031 is any type of investment real estate for any other type of investment real estate. 

It sounds like this isn't someone who is likely to sell at the kind of price that would work for you, regardless of ypur sales ability.

I haven't had a chance to visit the property or see it until today and it looks like some squatters(and their dog(s) have been camping through the winter ( God bless them), however, I need to get the wheels rolling on this home.

I was kind of headed in that direction just wasn’t sure if there are more local listings rather than the nation wide websites.  

Heck no on renting to her and I'm a pretty laid back kind of landlord.

I wouldn't consider age so much so long as the neighborhood it is in can support your sale price.The best way I can say is to always follow your market and visit some homes personally and eventually you will just know what a certain property is worth and won't need to necessarily find comps
