@Mark K., As far as the 1031 goes, you do not have to have your new property picked out before you sell. 

My wife and I have the following accounts exposed to the market which we'd like to efficiently, all or in part, invest in real estate instead: Husband: 401(k), Roth 401(k), Roth IRA. 

@Jim K.

I own and live in a larger 2400sq ft  4/2.5 SFH and owe about $246k mortgage/(have 58 k on HELOC).

Originally posted by @Daniel K.:. . . going forward, to avoid this I think I will remind tenants with a canned message near the end of their term that the security deposit does not cover rent, and pay or quit notice/eviction will begin when last month's rent is overdue. 

@Steve K.

I first saw this in Louisiana at the start of the year but now seems like Texas is doing it, however, Oklahoma and Arkansas still display the final price. 

My investor is currently working on this project, but has estimated a listing price of $255+k once it's ready to sell.

The sheer size is impressive, but the list of amenities is really something (grab a snack; this will take a while) and includes: 42 bathrooms, 21 bedrooms, a 5,500-square-foot master suite, a 30-car garage with two car-display turntables, a mote, a 400-foot jogging track, 360-degree views of L.A., 26-foot ceilings, a four-lane bowling alley, a spa level, a movie theater, a 200-cap “philanthropy wing” for charity galas (with floating pods overlooking Los Angeles), a 10,000-square-foot sky deck with a putting green, FIVE swimming pools, a juice bar, a cigar lounge, a custom tequila bar, a hair salon, and a gallery with custom-curated artworks by Creative Art Partners.

This means that you likely receive a K-1 that reports the items that you need to report on your tax return.
