I would be very careful in working with a 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary that provides ("sells"0 replacement property solutions as part of their services. 

Also note that my company will possibly either cover closing costs if we sell or provide property management for two years if we rent.

Additionally, by virtue of owning all of the units I could, with the help of an attorney, construct the bylaws in such a way to maximize value and eliminate bylaws that would be value-restrictive.I've talked to a couple of non-QM lenders who could provide financing to buyers under such a scenario, but the tricky part is appraisal value, especially in a state where, according to Redfin, no co-op's have sold in the last 5 years.If I got a couple units sold using seller-financing at $220/sqft, since there aren't any other co-op comps, would this provide a basis upon which an appraiser would provide a valuation closer to $220/sqft than $135/sqft?

This amount provides a reasonable safeguard against potential claims if something goes wrong, like an accident or damage to the property caused by the tenant. 

Alternatively, a private or hard money loan could provide faster funding if traditional lending timelines don’t work, with the option to refinance once the build is complete.

Keep providing value add options for your owners & they'll keep knocking.

They do minimal at best verification of the data the applicant provides.

So, in actuality the divide between “good” PMs and “bad” ones is probably no different than any other service provider, be it real estate broker, mortgage originator, etc.The key word I has in my sentence was MAY; as in MAY be hazardous to your financial health.  

I’m hoping to learn more about the industry, its dynamics, and explore potential opportunities for collaboration and growth.Totally understand that nothing in this field comes for free, and I’m more than willing to share my expertise (tech related) and provide support wherever our skills and goals align.Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully connecting soon!

Ensure the state provides a clear title upon sale.
