I have a clause in my year-long leases that they can end a lease early by paying an extra month's rent (essentially taking their security deposit).

I only saw the paperwork I sent to the owner, and the deposits of course.

I was told I have to come to closing with a whole bunch of different paper work.

So, the standard answer is no.However, the IRS did issue two Private Letter Rulings in 2002 and 2003 that essentially did allow the taxpayer to 1031 Exchange into property they already owned.

Compared to 2014, the paper work is tripled.

I was wondering if I could get some feedback from the BiggerPockets community about what schooling would be essential for an individual looking to get into REI full time?

If for no other purpose we will stay around for paperwork reasons.  

If there isn't, my next stop would be to file eviction paperwork.

He is doing is shuffling the paperwork to cover his tracks, but it will only take a little longer to see who is behind the LLC and the trust.

I really appreciate the valuable advice and yes, I find the Podcast so valuable and even essential for me.
