Quote from @Olga Nadal: Here is the situation, we identified 3 properties for our 1031 with the idea of buying two and having a back up.

I'm unsure how to identify the property is ligament or fake post. 

With a 1031, you would have to meet stricter timelines (identify a new property within 45 days and close within 180 days) and use a qualified intermediary.Recommendation: The 1033 exchange is likely the best route if you’re looking to reinvest and defer capital gains, as it provides more flexibility.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

While you aren't going to have investors, i.e. it is very unlikely but not impossible, that people will commit to a deal before you have identified one, you do want to grow your network of possible LPs and nurture them.
