Careful planning can assist you through a successful 1031 Exchange transaction.First, you can delay the closing of your relinquished property by negotiating extensions with the buyer so that your 45 and 180 day time frames have not started running.Second, you can look for your replacement property first and then tie up the properties using some sort of lease/option arrangement.Third, you can consider structuring a Reverse 1031 Exchange transaction that allows you to acquire and close on your replacement property prior to selling your relinquished property.

I'm fortunately right now that working night shift allows me to have day time hours to do things like meet investors, banks, as well as look at properties and go to sheriff sales.

I like this method because it requires very limited cut and paste communication up front to notify them of the open house day/time and then attendance at an open house rather than individual showings.

I can't find any laws that require a ratio, other than having an operator available during daytime and on call at night.  

Our local power utility subsidizes the panels and installation and some people can sell power back to the utility during the day time.

The day/time isn't set in stone.

Some get caught in not being able to find or close on the property of their choosing within the 180 day time frame.

Haha, you just made my day Tim😂

It will be every Monday from 12-1pm & its designed to accommodate busy professionals (with day time jobs).  

The hope is to not have to work the day time job forever so I can spend more time doing what I want to do.
