Bought a place a few months ago on market while doing a 1031 exchange..

And the condo debacle in FL will be churning for quite a while as these rogue HOAs try to get realistic with deferred maintenance, new requirements, and freedom for people to use as they need to afford them.One thing to consider would be to 1031 all of them in a consolidation exchange. 

AND THEY CAN SCREAM EASY AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS IF THEY WANT.BUT GO AND CONVINCE YOUR NEAREST RELATIVE TO SELL THEIR LARGEST ASSET WITH YOU AT ONLY A 5% MARK UP AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW REAL ESTATE EXCHANGES WORK. 

I am currently waiting on a rather large legal settlement to hopefully hurry up and get him his $16,000 or if we can find someone to go ahead and pay him off early (no prepayment penalty), which would be hopefully paid off sooner than later as well in exchange for a secured lien on the property plus repayment of the $16,000 plus interest short term.

Possibly partner with a group but would only do money lending or group in exchange for gaining knowledge of how to independently do things.

@William Bohan, Yeah, being a CA resident you'll have to do a 1031 exchange or your tax will approach 40%. 

Then you can combine or exchange for a better or more consolidated/ better proforming area.  

A “1031 exchange investor” would be someone who’s already selling something and wants to buy something else.

This could involve offering a higher interest rate in exchange for reduced upfront costs or deferring payments until a certain milestone.If building right away isn’t feasible, consider buying the lot now with the goal of paying it off over time, and save up to build when rates and budgets align.

With completing a 1031 exchange into a more expensive property, their depreciation table would reset as well, providing an even greater benefit.
