because when I asked quicken loans about a buying a 3-4 unit and living there they tell me that FHA only does 1-2 units. of course I aruged this saying since the housing market crash FHA allowed 1-4 units with only 3.5% down. now I watch Bigger pockets almost everyday trying to get started buying my first house to kick off my real estate career and now i get this info that FHA never offered 3.5% down now unless everyone on BP is lieing or Quicken loans lieing to its  Potential clients can anyone help me with this?

Then they'll have to use whatever documentation you have to ascertain whether it was a full or partial exchange and to put together the information they'll need for filing your form 8824.And after all that is said and done, you'll still have the unenviable task of explaining the whole thing to the field agent who audits your return - if it gets audited.

I'll definitely make that spreadsheet and I know that will help clear the field.

I will be working in Greenville, SC where I want to begin my investing career as well.  

We spoke at length at the last Dave Lindahl's event and I can certainly say that she is very knowledgeable in this field. 

Im just getting started in this field of real estate and am looking for someone to co-wholesale with me.

Did the focus change as you progressed through your career?

(real estate attorney) Experience it yourself, in the field (I'm assuming you are getting licensed).

The landlord is at the end of their career and does not want to purchase another property and isn't interested in a 1031. 

I just put n/a in the agency fields.
