Realtors have access to a broad network and can help you get the best price in a shorter time frame, which is important in a market that can shift quickly.In the end, using a realtor can often pay off by helping you sell faster and at a higher price.

Rooms are more of an option in expensive locations.

I know I need a perk test and a survey, but the land owner would like an assessment of how much and the time frame.

They receive a promissory note that outlines the timeframe of the loan with a specific interest rate.

Yes, There are some shorter time frames on 1031 exchange you have to use a seasoned 1031 company. 

Sometimes they require a certain time frame to be shown on that.  

Bills like this are difficult for tenants to budget and create messy scenarios when someone moves in/out around the timeframe of the bill coming out. 

Additionally, when you go to market the property, you can provide a small discount for applicants who would be willing to sign a longer lease that will put you back in that ideal summer leasing time frame.
