Anyway, you can see that for each Exemption, a certain dollar amount is taken of the Market Value resulting in a significantly lower Taxable Value for each taxing entity. 

My question is since im defering taxes by swapping into another property, but im getting money at closing, Do I get taxed on the 10% at closing or is this basically like a cash out refinance where the money i take out of the equity is not taxable?

Will having no balance and NOT using a credit card decrease my fico?

I looked back at 2014 and I calculated that I've made over $43,000 in contributions to stock market investments - maxed out 401(k), Roth IRA, taxable investments, etc. 

Rather than paying yourself a commission, would reduce price or something similar to eliminate the taxable event. 

If you owned a great 2-4 unit property in a well located area B/C how would I increase profit/cash-flow and decrease expenses.  

Do you think demand for lower end properties (2/1s) will decrease over time, or be just fine.thanks,

If your prospective vendor re-sells a lead too many times, it's value to you decreases with the increased competition... so ask the right questions.Good luck!

If the rents can be raised or purchase price (significantly) decreased, you could make this work.

See Part VII - Rents, Rent Increases and Decreases particularly sections 116 through 136.Many landlords will include bills for ineligble items, or even work not yet completed that should not be permitted for an increase, so get advice from your legal representative or legal clinic on what to do.
