I know there's fishing and fun to be had at South Padre Island, and I've seen online that the food in the RGV is amazing.

Also I'm looking to do the online class if that makes a difference.

I have read online that the IRS would recommend I hold the investment property for at least 2 years but it's not a strict requirement.

There are forms online for this purpose. 

@Iliya Muzychuk I think this will lead to fewer houses and apartments coming online / available which will further hurt the supply of housing. 

If you do decide to do it, I would suggest combining it with an online presence targeting the same areas.

I also have a Facebook group that is great for online networking.

I have one CPA telling me it does not and the donor must pay the gift tax on any amount over $15K annual and countless blog and other online info saying that any amount over $15K goes toward the lifetime gift tax exclusion ( currently over $11 million and soon to be reduced to $3 million) The parent IS NOT interested in a 1031 exchange BTW....and I will be seeking the advise of a RE Attorney...I just want to understand why it is so unclear.Appreciate any information. 

I work near Lowell and am just getting started doing my own research, online and in person, so I thought I’d see if anyone can offer advice here!
