I think it makes most sense to create a buyer's list, and then move to contacting prospecting sellers.

If I were to sell a property in Washington state and buy a property in California can I do a 1031 exchange if I am going to move into the property in California? 

In order to move back into the home, the homeowner would need to reinstate or payoff the loan, including the costs of the receivership as permitted in the order.

Keep in mind that many responsible agents tend to be conservative with their valuations, especially in today’s market, where properties aren’t moving as quickly as they once did.If we’re in a conservative market, pricing on the lower end may make sense, but it’s always good to weigh your options carefully.

Or you can sell it, split the equity, and go separate ways.I'm not a fan of borrowing from family/friends unless all parties are honest and everything is documented in a written contract.

I’m glad you were able to move on without signing, shows the agent understands/is a good guy/gal, or knows other firms wouldn’t require such a signature. 

Did you find any prior knowledge (tenant screening) of pets moving in?

I think I'm in a pretty unique situation and am trying to figure out the right hoops to jump through to move forward.Long story short, I'm trying to tap into the equity of the rental property passed down from my grandparents that is held in an S-corp which is co-owned by myself, my siblings, our cousins, and an idiot uncle.

I would also target ones that are ideal for renting out when you move out so maybe do a lower price point. 

Maybe the biggest "risk" might be the fact that you cannot occupy the property at all so technically if you run into hard times and need to move into the property thats not intended - but no real more risk.
