There is no statutory holding period or list of prescriptive actions that in an of themselves "qualify" a property for 1031 treatment.

He gave the kids clothes to the parents to show he was making an effort to resolve the issue kindly, he told the tenants that he wouldnt report the pills and bag of pot he found if they resolved it in a civil manner, and he gave a rent-to- own company their couch back so the tenants wouldnt get prosecuted.

With maybe some pills to go with his booze.I agree with everyone else that he has to go now.

He took off frequently to go to the doctor and got on a pain med prescription.

However, I have a medical marajuana doctor in one of my buildings (she can write prescriptions only).  

People spend tens of thousands of dollars looking for the secret magic pill that will immediately make them rich in real estate.

PRESCRIPTION NARCOTIS so really theres probably some mastermind organizing a criminal gang to take advantage of the current situation in baltimore...
