@David BeardIn reading your posts, I am not entirely clear (different tax system), but is the treatment you describe only applicable to an instalment sale (where the sale is only complete once all instalments have been paid)?  

You would basically be requesting to receive the special circumstance treatment, if they said no and you stay in the home then everything is fine.

They could have come in with the moving boxes, which is the most likely culprit, but they could have snuck in some other way.My lease says I will deliver the home pest-free and handle any pest treatment for the first two weeks in case we miss something.

However, preferential treatment and favoritism happens all of the time with bank and lender owned properties.

We just wanted to sell our house to pay for my leukemeia treatments but are instead having to use that money to cover the $12,970 in damages that incurred as a direct result of the fraud and willful deceit of Robert Mario Garcia, CEO of BridgehouseAmerica / BridgehouseInvestors.I tried very hard to make this review as factual as possible.If you have been victimized, please contact me.

This will be a detailed inspection of every room, ceiling, floor, plumbing, smoke/CO2 detectors, window treatments and screens, etc.

Real estate that qualifies for 1031 treatment (tax deferral) is any type of real estate you hold with investment intent. 

As a tax lawyer, I want pass through treatment to leverage the tax benefits of my investments.

With a fund some can offer tax preferred treatment such as dividend vs ordinary income so it’s something to review not just gross but net returnsThere is no right or wrong answer to this, it’s truly a preference and how comfortable you are with each type of investment

As long as your intentions to hold onto the property for investment use are met, It would qualify for 1031 treatment.
