I have about 100k in assets both personal and business I could sell, but part of me thinks that’s extreme and I’ll sell “myself” along the way with all my stuff.  

Because there have been such significant gains in the markets this year (unless you are a bond investor😬) fund/asset managers and stock traders will likely do some portfolio rebalancing in January, selling winners, and locking in tremendous 2024 gains.

That being said, I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection as it relates to real estate.

The FFE and other assets of the business cannot be 1031d anyway. 

if you had a particular asset of real estate you were interested in I'm sure you'd be able to find a broker in need of help in one of those. 

I want to be sure I’m structuring things in a way that protects my assets while allowing for growth and still keeping money partners protected.Any feedback would be awesome. 

I have a vision of building and developing mobile home communities in upstate NY that are vertically integrated to allow future members to choose from a catalog of homes, have them installed, provide them with financing options, and make the process of selecting, buying, and living in the community very smooth.Since this is my first time doing this, I would love to chat with an experienced mobile home developer on the following items:Zoning - navigating the zoning process to allow the community to be allowedStart up costs - I am a finance person who would love to better understand start up costs - septic / electrical / water / pads / roads / etcOn Going Maint Costs - in building our business case, I want to build a conservative financial model to capture all re-occurring expenses - utilities, landscaping, capex, septic clean out, etc.I know this is a lot, but would greatly appreciate talking to someone who is an expert in this asset class!

This can extend timelines and add layers of bureaucracy.Mission alignment: Many non-profits are cautious about selling assets if the sale could appear misaligned with their mission.

Since you mention this is your first deal, what other assets do you own that you are trying to protect?
