True, both parties don't have to agree. 

Milwaukee is a great place for rentals but as stated above the hardest part is managing the property.  

For example, If the new construction property is being financed/built by another party and you plan to close on the newly completed property once it's been built, then you can simply perform a normal 1031 exchange. 

It's about truly understanding their needs, concerns, and motivations, which can often lead to more favorable outcomes for both parties involved.

My understanding is with a TIC you have the option of keeping the same TIC structure with all parties OR completing your own 1031 and the TIC partner can do the same OR they can just pay the tax and move on if they choose to.

I helped them figure out what needed to be done and helped them put together their case for their lawyer as there were multiple parties they had to sue.

Never, Ever, Ever pay any upfront fees, unless it is a 3rd party fee for an Appraisal.  

A lot of insurance companies won't write a third party that doesn't have a financial claim/stake on the property as "additional insured".

Some of the go out clubbing/partying on the weekends, or go spend time with friends, etc. but work zero hours.

Some metrics I'd look at are nightly rates, cash on cash return, what type of tenant will I be renting to (nurses, wedding parties, and so on) to name a few.
