As a result any “offering” must either be a registered securities offering, or qualify for an exemption from the required registration.

All things being equal, I would accept these applicants, but I would require them to pay a deposit equal to two months of rent.

Now more than ever, I am seeing offers required to be submitted through a portal where the listing agents want no business being involved with up front negotiations.

However, you can likely sell all the properties in the required timeline to do the 1031k, although that will take some effort/cooperation between multiple buyers/brokers, considering the separate markets.
