It was brutal and it still wasn't enough.THE OWNER APPROVAL BOTTLENECK KILLS YOUR TURNAROUND TIMEHere's how it usually went.

If the sale proceeds touch your account, the exchange is usually dead.To fully defer tax: buy equal or greater value, reinvest all net proceeds, and be careful about “boot.”Paid off rental surprise: you may need to add debt or cash on the replacement to avoid taxable boot.Financing can be the bottleneck.

You’re right, Pierre — the bottleneck isn’t software, it’s physical presence.

Interesting hearing how different markets produce different bottlenecks.
