I did a "blind" assessment where I paid/reimbursed a close family friend to go in as a guest because there were a lot of details I wasn't privy to- and wanted to understand (the whole experience and process from the guest perspective from the initial inquiry, emails, etc.).They shared the email communications (some of which was glitchy or not quite as good as what I'd expect, or told me of delays in receiving responses).

The city board of adjustment meeting was held today and we presented our case and explained that we made huge investments into the home to remodel and furnish it with the belief that we would be able to operate it as an STR since we had an approved permit.The Board denied my request and did not take any responsibility. 

Thank you for your response. 

Your responsibility is the help the public in all their real estate needs.

Hi @Ben Lindquist, The 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary is a crucial part of any successful 1031 Exchange transaction.

Closing timeline, contingencies, repair responsibilities, or seller concessions like closing cost help can all be leverage points.

This is an impressive response.

OK... thank you for the detailed response.

I don't think one will make money on a net-net basis over the long term.I had asked the same question to local and foreign buyers agent in japan and had vague responses from them as they know the reality.The opportunity lies in the foreclosed property in Japan.

Thanks so much for your quick response!
