Of course a year from now the landscape could be entirely different so it is key to keep your powder dry and options open till then.There are a couple of twists to a 1031 that may allow you to still benefit from one and yet re-position your money to your benefit as well.1. 1031 into an alternative real estate investment.  

Just FYI I'm keeping my powder dry until I'm sure I have everything lined up to buy.

Can anyone recommend a good investor friendly contractor in the Powder Springs area? 

Some details:Purchase: $45,000Rehab: $40,000 (This includes 15% unexpected cost)ARV: $150,000Annual Taxes: $4,000Rehab is scheduled to be 8 weeks, which includes kitchen, bathroom, add powder room, build deck, finish basement, refinish floors, paint, landscaping and a few other items.

I just picked up a house that has a lot of these post powdered beetle holes in the floor joist.

Also, before working with fiberglass coat exposed skin with baby powder it helps avoid fiberglass sticking to you.

On the other hand, that extra "dry powder" in hand would come in handy so likely higher reward too.

When my family moves out in a few months I won't have a need for a 4/2.5 (I added a powder room since purchasing it) for myself alone so I'm trying to figure out if I should sell, rent or stay.

The project is in powder springs.
