I believe that telephonic and video interactions will become more widely acceptable for court hearings.

And I have good videos of the units as well. 

You are essentially trying to loophole a way around capital gains/depreciation recap with the 1031, and then cash out that interest, presumably while trying to avoid paying taxes on it.  

I invest in the Tampa area, in the Ybor City area, I know the average rent, that there are a lot of 3/1 SFRs there, the ratio of renters vs. buyers in an area...When using the calculators, if a deal seems too good, it is. watch the videos on how to use them as well as hit um the forums that a relevant to your market, they always have great info on things you wouldn't think of. i.e. what utilities landlord usually pays in an area, insurance, vacancy rate. 

I am looking forward to participating in the video call in an observer/learner capacity.

Have your tenant bring you video evidence to show it's still going on and submit that to the HOA.

I haven't seen much about that on BP... can anyone direct me to some good books or video series on getting started? 

Essentially these are invalid contracts that the seller could and should walk from if they knew what was going on.If you do have the means and intent to close, go ahead,but most 'wholesalers' don't.

However, we might be in trouble because the House might adjorn onWendesday, essentially killing the and every other bill that is not completely though the system. 

I came in low on the repairs because it would be essentially a new build.
