The duplex is sitting on the Southern most edge of the blue outline leaving the 'common/parking area' on the North end closest to the major road.  

The comps I have ran are no where near the $500k hes asking. the closest one sold for $380k back in dec 2020. the other 3 comps were selling around $255-$300 with the earliest sell date at Sept 2020.

It all depends on their structure and experience.Last thing, with all of that said, you're actual numbers are probably closest to the higher guy.

I went directly to those closest to me and the people I suspected of having extra cash.

I am not an expert by any means, but let me comment from what I have learned about the 1033 from my fire loss of a rental single family home.The closest use of a 1033 in your described case would be if the land taken was used for some income producing use.

Syndications or REIT’s might be the closest thing to passive investing in real estate, but neither is truly passive because you have to research/ vet them heavily up front and then consistently check on them.

@Theresa Harris Yeah, most of the lots behind there have been purchased by the houses closest to it.
