The first tenet of the 1031 exchange is that you cannot DIY a 1031 exchange. 

My parents investment LLC used 1031 exchange money to buy a house that I want to put in my personal name so I can file a PRE exemption. 

I saw an episode of American Greed this weekend, regarding a company called Remington Financial Group that charged an up-front fee to entrepreneurs in exchange for helping them find funding for their ventures.  

Both seasoned and new real estate investors have a powerful tool: the 1031 tax-deferred exchange.

I am actually selling a few in Dallas to do a exchange in San Diego....
