Seriously, that was exactly the type of property that a friend of mine contemplated buying. The concept is simple - Take highly appreciated real estate in bubble areas and 1031 them into areas of little of no appreciation, knowing full well that it is not likely a good investment. However, chances of these properties crashing are much less. Aside from Tulsa, we also considered college town apartments around universities such as Wisconsin. After the crash, exchange them back to the more desirable areas. This strategy would avoid having to pay capital gains while taking advantage of the opportunity.
