I've raised capital for tech companies in the past, but never for a real estate company.

A capital improvement is not - it gets added to the basis which ultimately reduces the tax due on sale but it’s not tax deductible in the sense in reduces current income. 

As for the sale aspect, the market has softened up a little bit for sellers, but some of that is time of year.

Do you know how point of sale is handled?  

Facts- Property Sale/Closing date: October 21, 2024- Property Location: sold in Miami Dade County, FL- 1031 potential replacement property identification deadline: 45 day identification deadline of December 5, 2024.- Seller's residence county: Orange County, FLIRS Notice for reference: FL-2024-10 - Hurricane Milton IRS extensionhttps://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-tax-relief-for-victims-of-milton-various-deadlines-postponed-to-may-1-2025-in-all-of-floridaMy Assumptions:A.

I do partnerships many different ways, some I split the equity on the sale; I'll bring the deal, and partner with the person investing because I brought the deal to them. 20/80, 10/90, 40/50, etc..

Now I'm being told that because of the charitable contributions listed on the corporation paperwork we need to submit a full appraisal to the state and that the state attorney general needs to approve the sale.

Even then though, the price could still be the issue even with the pro doing the sale.

I would focus on "Ugly inventory" but would pass an appraisal and not be "Subject to" so that I can renovate and refinance on the ARV in as little as 6 months to pull out my initial capital and enough to put down on the next REI.On the flip side Indiana and Ohio would also offer a sale price to cash flow ratio since you can still find a great deal in both states.  

It's sales and marketing.
