Can anyone tell me, if Maria does not designate a new property ( or properties) for the 1031 exchange, within 45 days after selling her existing one, does she still need to pay any fees to the 1031 exchange company ?  Or is it just the tax hit with the IRS?  I've considered doing a 1031 exchange but have heard, as others said, that it can be difficult to find a new property within 45 days or to make the purchase of the new rentals contingent on the sale of the old one(s)

Hello John Teachout,  Thanks for your input...yes I googled my question and got 7 names of companies for the entire state of Indiana and am wondering if anyone on Bigger Pockets had any good or bad experience with any of these or similar vendors. 

Can anyone recommend any vendors they know who do mobile home installation and moving within the state of Indiana?  I am researching the possibility of buying a private lot (not in a  mobile home park)  which previously had  a mobile home that was about 1200 square feet. After purchasing the lot I could  buying a used single wide mobile home, and have it moved and installed on the land.  The cities involved would be Muncie and Kokomo Indiana. I also need to find out what work the mobile home installers are willing to do to get the utilities in the ground, connected,  and working.  Any replies would be appreciated!

Hello Ryan Wamsat,  The property management company at the time said that the girlfriend did not need to sign the lease because the man was qualifying based on his income alone and his credit score, rental history, etc. He is the financially responsible party.  I just found out today that a few months ago the two of them got married. So do you still recommend the lease amendment first, then do the 60 day notice? 

I have decided to give 60 days notice of a rent increase to my tenant in Modesto California.  Can anyone suggest where I can find a good form for this that would be in compliance with California laws, etc? If there is only one adult who signed the lease is he the only one who needs to be named on the rent increase notice or does his girlfriend who lives there also need to be included in the notice?   The girlfriend's  name is on the lease as one of the people living there ( along with her two kids under 18) but the man is the only one who signed the lease.

I recently began investigating a house  this wholesaler has under contract in Indiana. Has anyone had any experience with hometownbuyersclub.com either good or bad? They are based in Winter Haven Florida. Any replies would be appreciated!
