How hard will it be to bet appropriate permits for the alterations (2 rooms and bathroom). 

Hi Everyone,Thinking of doing a 1031 exchange and getting into a Triple N investment.

Established developers with a history of successful projects are generally safer bets. 

I then used most of these proceeds to upgrade the properties and make them more valuable.Now I’m looking to sell off my assets and reinvest the money in Florida utilizing 1031 exchanges. 

Unfortunately, I now live in Japan and it seems like selling the HI property will attract Japan capital gains tax, regardless of US 1031 exchange rules. 

Right now I would imagine you're best bet is a small balance Freddie or fannie loans depending on loan size and location.

Can money be exchanged to bind for a set price on that contract?

This would avoid dealing with traditional lenders altogether.Partnership: Consider bringing in a partner who can provide the $140K in exchange for a share of the rental income or future appreciation.Cash-Out Refinance: If you have another property, you might be able to do a cash-out refinance to pull out the necessary funds.Best of luck!

No current liens but these properties have tax deeds, not warranty deeds if that matters.That as-is value is going to make obtaining financing more difficult for sure.Financing options drop off pretty steeply below a certain dollar amount because foreclosure costs for lenders can be significant.Your best bet may be to connect with some local private lenders (local investor meetups/referrals are a good starting point for this) or local banks.

You best is bet is usually to match existing.
