Backtrack and disparage me all you want, I was simply responding to your direct quotes.

Our only thing stopping us at this moment is that we are currently doing a complete gut and renovation on our personal residence, (that should be a flip but we actually want to keep) we are putting all of our time and money into it.

I am finding it difficult comparing similar MFH properties to one another as there are multiple variables that do not match up completely.

Also, i am not sure i understood completely your posting, are TKs not a good option?

After you complete all the coursework, they have practice state and national exams.

Despite pressure to completely gut the house, I am planning a "selective" demo -- pulling up all the hardwood flooring to the subfloor; demo-ing most ceilings and several interior plaster walls but not all -- and no exterior plaster walls except where fire damage took place.

Completely agree with @Kyle Eckert.  

So to complete the 1031 successfully you'll want to look at amounts and make %s work around the amounts.

I could be completely wrong about that, though, and I welcome a corrective response.

I don't want to simply say, "No, because you have a 3 year old".
