I've received consistent returns from this and am confident I could get the money back out with minimal delay.Also, do not invest more than 10% of your nest egg in any one deal.

That would minimize their dishes until you are able to get the problem fixed.You already have finances going out for repairs, but I think it a good gesture at least offer them a hotel for a night or two prior to Monday while they wait, & the plates, etc are inexpensive and let them know you are concerned for their discomfort and are trying to make things easier for them.

Most of these properties are in good condition and require minimal work to restore to move in ready condition (mainly cleaning.

The Layton properties are small townhouses, and from the look of the google maps photos, the construction appears to be pretty minimal for a Utah climate.

(Although we anticipate the repairs to be minimal with all the work we put into the house, it's never a bad idea to plan for the unexpected.)

And one trip under the steamroller can wipe out many years worth of found nickels.In other words, always be thinking how to minimize the risk of investing, as well as the rest of your life.

So, @Wayne Brooks , if bought the mortgage and note for $65k and you sent the minimal bid to auction at the $200k (judgement) and nobody purchased the property at auction.

There are plenty of posts here on BP on how to accomplish subject-to and minimize the chance of acceleration.

Same housing stock, rising prices, lots of dumpsters in the front yards, minimal days on market.

@Jeremy CooperThe best person to ask is a CPA or Bill Exeter who is the exchange expert on BP.The rule of thumb for 1031 exchanges are "like kind" since real property and stocks & bonds are not "like kind" you are most likely not able to do a direct exchange.The only other strategies I have seen used to minimize capital gains are using an installment sale.For High Net Worth clients, there is the 1031/721 exchange into an upREIT.
