In short,a QI is  someone who is a stop gap, facilitating the purchase of a replacement property ahead of the sale of the relinquished property in an effort to make the 1031 possible, correct?

So, what best facilitates your next steps in life, holding this as-is, or liquidating to help fuel your next actions in life? 

This post is about alternatives to SFR turnkey investments.I have only self-managed a couple of SFO Bay Area SFR rentals, and looking to explore alternatives after my 1031 exchange of one of those properties.I have looked at a few turnkey or rental SFR investment sites such as roofstock (not sure if they are turnkey or just facilitate investments by providing rental estimates and guarantees based on as-is properties), doorvest, renttoretirement, and turnkeyinvestproperties.Are there popular and/or convenient options to look for, buy and manage larger complexes (apartments, commercial etc.) similar to the above list of options for SFRs?

or they can spend time interviewing facilitators like agents and travel to the market. out of state investors come in all kinds. some fly to the market and look for themselves some never do. the ones that never do have the problems. take one trip is what I recommend 

Syndicators, when operating ethically and transparently, serve as facilitators who bring together investors to pool their resources and collectively invest in real estate opportunities that may otherwise be inaccessible to individual investors.

I hope the resources within this forum will facilitate success in this new endeavor. 

I'm now looking for a quality loan servicing company out here in the Bay Area, or anywhere for that matter, if they can help facilitate my payment process to the seller.

Also, lawyers would need to facilitate the transaction which might scare away some less savvy buyers. 

That I'd have no idea about, there is also the Transactional Broker/agency relationship, where the listing agent has no obligation to either except to facilitate the transaction.
