The IRS has ruled that depreciation of "1245 property" (the segregated personal property) may also be deferred in a 1031 as long as there is an equivalent amount of 1245 property in the replacement property. 

Just received a personal message from a guest who just checked in last night.

We bought the place 4 years ago for about $1.3 million with a $650000 new first, 15 year at 4% fixed (btw, no personal guarantee on the loan because 50% LTV/LTC).

Since the HELOC has that rate, I would personally not want to use it now.

My experiences there tell me that personally evicting is a huge headache. 

I would personally see which market can offer you the best CORE Four and highly consider that.

“Sit empty” means not use it personally at all?

I don’t know the person, but I would think you could afford to gamble $525.

Personally I’m at 10 conventional so now using my wife more.

I found a person who had all ready been transferred to a new location with his job and had been unable to sell their home.
