@Elliot Angus To structure this deal, consult a Qualified Intermediary (QI) for 1031 compliance, a real estate attorney for seller-finance terms, and a CPA to ensure tax deferral.

Seeking expert guidance on optimal structuring options:1.

Look for properties on main corridors or sites with existing structures (e.g., small houses or retail buildings) that can be torn down and redeveloped.Challenges in South Florida: Be mindful of market conditions and local regulations.

Personally, I wouldn't throw out a complex structure to the seller right out of the gate. 

Also, you may want to look into a two family home and rent out part of the space of your new home under the FHA loan structure too. 

I have a structure that is a Master LLC and subentities that will be used if either STR or LTR.  

I'm also in Buffalo and have a couple properties that used to have additional structures on them.
