Hi Kirstin, Yes, you can 1031 Exchange into PA. 

I bet if you looked at it, with the rise of sites like Zillow, there has been a sharp rise in agents getting both side of the sales.  

it won't help you with this situation, but it may prevent future pain...SOW (Scope of Work) itemizing precisely what work is to be done, the finishes and/or exact material to be used, who has authority to decide on any undeclared materials or finishes (you or contractor).

No pain...no gain.

The implication being they can give notice if they are dissatisfied living there and/or we can give notice if they are a pain in the butt. 

We had spent over half a million dollars trying to find something to help my youngest son with an excruciatiningly painful neurological illness, so we were broke.We went through a lawyer and received 2 loans.

(Associations are a pain to deal with), but didn't make make huge money on any of them being the neighborhoods already were fairly nice when I bought them.I am looking to put down 30-40k in a neighborhood that could possibly gentrify with in the next 5 years.

Obviously to make this happen, I need a great agent, a sharp inspector and a reputable and honest property manager.

Are all of your team willing to move to an e-sign platfor... being 1/2 paper and 1/ e-sign is painful...

Any pain points or pre-work worth mentioning to lessen the pain?
