As a PMC, we allow tenants to:1) Mail in rent (we charge a Processing Fee)2) Deposit at our bank (we charge a Processing Fee, but less than the mailing one)3) Use Zelle, Venmo, etc. 

Here are a couple of ways you could structure the deal:Lease Option with Seller Financing: You could lease the property with an option to buy later, allowing you to rehab it while giving the sellers time to find a 1031 replacement property.Seller Financing with Deferred Payment: Structure the seller financing with no immediate payments, allowing you to refinance once the property is appraised, and the sellers can complete the 1031 exchange when ready.Escrow Holdback: Transfer the deed into an escrow account, giving you control without immediate transfer, so the sellers can take their time with the 1031.Third-Party Facilitation: Use a qualified intermediary to hold funds and facilitate the 1031 exchange while you refinance.These options allow flexibility for both you and the sellers.

A second mortgage or HELOC might allow you to unlock some funds without losing the 3.25% rate.- I recommend avoiding condos. 

The law allows you to charge for ALL cleaning, including trash removal.

However short contract period allows you to pursue other avenues to sell if the wholesaler can't execute on the terms they offered.
