That way when a deal is brought to you, you know the seller actually wants to sell.

If you are going to sell then you must understand the tax implications. 

Multiple places, then you start reaching commercial territory when you sell and try to move it all as a business.

There’s no reason to go through a disaster (I'm mid recovery myself) and not get the financial upside by becoming the developer and selling a finished product versus raw land.If you have to completely rebuild, it’s a two year process at minimum.

Again, see question #1.Selling as-is means selling it cheap, no hassle, quick sale.

Fake investors, you can sell the dream, the hustle is sold separately  thats why lottery tickets sell so well.. dream with no effort. 

Each of the 12 condos can sell for, at minimum, $130,000 meaning that the overall gross resale value of the building grows to $1,560,000. 

They'll have the same issue with the next buyer and you can always come back in a few months and make them a much lower offer once the property has fallen out of contract a few times and they are extra motivated to sell.   

Depending on comfort and cash, it might be a viable option as you can build equity and then sell without having capital gains, assuming it's your primary residence and you've lived there for 2 years.

@Zachariah Prevost You stated that when a bank goes to sell the home loan to Fannie/Freddie or any other willing buyer for that matter, that they are stripping away the Mortgage/DOT from the note.
