I'm not sure if I'm responding correctly to your post so if not, please bear with me as I can be technically challenged at times!

You can’t stand outside of the property with a sign saying “Don’t buy this property”, nor can you post about it online and name the builder and the address or else you risk being sued (even if you’re being 100% factual).  

This has stalled as I'm unable to secure a quality building post-inspection.

I agree with the post above. 

I just want to be sure it's legal for me to ask her the second question from my post above.

I am not sure if a 1031 is going to be part of the equation or not since we are looking to purchase something at a lower price point than what we sell for (not clear on that, but I'll probably post separately in the 1031 forum for that topic). 

@Gearold White I'd love to connect man as I'm pretty confused by your post.

These two are rarely mentioned in the overview posts I have seen. 

Keep us posted on what happened.
