By facilitating the closing process and leveraging a strategic marketing approach, we increased the property’s visibility and quickly found a buyer.

If  you chose to sell, there are a couple things you could do to proactively make the 1031 process much easier. 

Italians like to avoid taxes thus they don’t necessarily go through the permit process.  

They provided registered address and limited mail forwarding for free and the process was fast and efficient.

Though, this process will be the same for the other state (if you created a CA LLC you may need to register it as a foreign LLC in the state in which you are doing business/holding property).

Processing fee is very small and you usually can get funds in 3-5 days!

The numbers may be 30-40% lower than today's cost, but the process/approach to estimating may be good for you to review.

The process was seamless.

That violates the Takings Clause.MD can be distinguished (in fact MD was mentioned in the decision) in that there IS a process on the books for the foreclosed owner to petition the court for the surplus.
