Each individual needs to assess their own ability to handle costs over that time frame when cash flow may dry up.

They explicitly state in the course that they will keep that contract on file and if any of your clients tries to come to them directly within the timeframe that you set, they will send them back to you.I will repeat once more, I am not affiliated with this course or it's participants at all. 

@Nicholas AiolaIn consideration of tax changes, has anything changed regarding the time frame of using a 1031 exchange? 

The important factors of a consolidation exchange are the reinvestment requirements and the time frame requirements.

I also believe that Youtube is the proper hosting platform for the film and I am confident that we will have the footage back on Youtube within a reasonable time frame.

Lesson two: Double whatever time frame your contractor gives you.

This is common for that build time frame.

Says he rarely does the loan, but buys the property instead with the "right to buy the property back" in a given timeframe if they pay an up front fee for the privilege.

There are a couple of things that I would think about here, the timeframe you want to work with this agent (can be 1 month or 2 months or a longer time), whether you could do it for a specific area/city/town, or you could do it for a couple of properties you see.

It simply depends on your time frame, when you want to actually begin renting the property out short term, and what the loan terms are.
