The decline in housing starts was also broad-based, with both single-family and multi-family construction posting declines.

@Carlos Silva The rules are very broad.  

Don't be like me and try to look at every type of property that comes up... you end up missing the deals because your search criteria is to broad and top of that I've found by not knowing exactly what you want, you will then procrastinate when you do find a potential deal and in turn end up missing it. 

It seems like from west palm down to Hollywood would be our range (broad, I know).

The 1031 Law (speaking practically)These rules apply to any exchange:Must complete within 180 calendar days of the sale of your relinquished propertyMust identify up to 3 replacement properties within 45 daysOnly complete tax deferral if the final value of the replacement property is worth at least as much as your net sale price for the relinquished property.If you trade down in value, the difference is taxableKeep the same taxpayer across propertiesYou can exchange into (and out of) any state and many US territoriesThere are lots of different assets that qualify as valid replacement targets in a 1031, so think broadly

I don't have any experience with them, but Lifestyles Unlimited is on the radio and Internet in the Houston and Austin areas. 

The folks I see having trouble completing 1031s are generally those trying to cast too broad a net and the decision paralyzes them.

There are many, many article on the Internet about Reserve Mortgages.

That changes of course based on the price of propane.Somethings you can ballpark, like internet or cable as the variations from area to area won't be that huge unless it isn't available and you have to use satellite internet or the like.IMHO, you best bet is to choose the area you are thinking and start running numbers on averages from the various utilities etc.

That reaction can be "good" or "bad" in the broad sense of the word but it's going to happen.
