Yes, you can do a 1031 exchange by selling both houses but as it is a very complicated method therefore it will be better to consult with an 1031 exchange expert.

It's not a 203k requirement that the home be in unlivable condition, but odds are the listing agent is going to tell their client to throw your offer in the trash if the home CAN be purchased with a vanilla normal non-reno loan.

I still need to furnish, etc.For the experts here, do you typically use traditional financing or use other sources?

How do I find public reits for non accredited investors?

we buy listed non financeable properties all the time.. so does networth or what ever other big wholesale RE brokerage in your area they are right off of MLS.. whats the difference of you bringing a wholesale buyer through the house as opposed to a retail one off of MLS.. answer NO difference.. my thought Is sellers in these instances think they are saving commission but the sales price is lowered to reflect it and many times wholesalers just rip the pants off of sellers leaving them with 10s of thousands less than they could have gotten with a property open to the market not just a wholesaler who has his own best interest at heart not the sellers.
