Using a 1031 to upgrade to a two-family could help you reduce or eliminate the $1,000 out-of-pocket expense you’re paying now.Also, condos often come with HOA fees that limit cash flow, so be mindful of their impact.

However, it wouldn’t affect investments made indirectly through a local company in Europe.That said, I believe it would still be possible to invest strategically to mitigate the impact of such regulations.

Since you are only selling the development rights and not the entire property, the existing mortgage on the building does not directly impact the 1031 exchange of the development rights.

@Ben CallahanRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

My problem is how to measure if it has any impact on sales price or time on market. 

Beyond immediate safety concerns, the long-term financial implications, including taxes, are a pressing issue for those impacted by the disaster.

Carnegie Mellon creates “$2.7 billion in economic impact each year”.

Making matters even worse, the properties most are buying (the lower tier properties) are disproportionately impacted by operating costs and cap ex.  

In regards to the valuation of the property what impact will this have and when do you know when its time to sell?
