He is now a regular getting things done at many of my properties.

However, some companies offer Solo 401ks with a loan feature, which in short means you can take out up to $50k of the account and use that money as regular monies not subject to the rules of PTs.

I regularly have my fiance collect rent for me in what is considered the bad part of town. 

We understand Mr Scruggs opens and closes companies regularly.

I am sure it can and is done regularly, but it is a gray area and must be handled with care and integrity. 

He is a great contributor to BP as are many of the regulars.

This is true and I will add, each party who posts will have a different perspective (likely bias) based on their regular role.

With all due respect, good retail and office leases, governmental and zoning regulations, regular inspections, specific use provisions/restrictions, and good tenant screening would allay most fears.

Note, these same people sort of took up birddoging in addition to the regular deal so I taught them D4$ too.Another thing I did was put my business card, the I buy houses one, on gas pumps.

You can always start off with one (1) 1031 Exchange and then decide to drop the last few sales into a new 1031 Exchange if they are not selling quickly.In my opinion, how you structure your 1031 Exchanges will depend to a large degree on what you want to reinvest in (i.e. how many properties, what type of properties) and how flexible the seller is willing to be.The more properties and/or 1031 Exchanges the more complex the deadlines and identification processes can become, but they are done all the time.It is also possible to combine a regular Forward 1031 Exchange with/into a Reverse 1031 Exchange.
