@Ryan Yu, a cash out refinance after a 1031 exchange can be a powerful tool to make your 1031 simple. 

Do you suggest that I use them as guarantors for this situation?

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. 

Create a simple spreadsheet or written list to compare the features of each and identify the ones that align with your requirements.

It felt like a no-brainer for the value of the land, but being able to utilize a traditional mortgage because there was a clean yet simple 3 bed 2 bath house on the lot made the deal even sweeter!

So I suggest really being clear about the "why" and the "what to expect" to keep these inevitabilities in perspective. 

Suggestion: AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.I never received my order, no eta, and the only response I received was dated 10/21 saying they’d contact the manufacturer for a status.

I would suggest creating a story with your pictures so the flow is nice.

Just as others have suggested, you can but not necessary.  

Make sure there is nothing is writing incl text or email suggesting anything other that the lease is NOT being renewed no matter what he does.
