Actually, it is possible do structure a 1031 Exchange on the sale of one or more relinquished properties and then using the proceeds through the 1031 Exchange to construct improvements on real property you already own.

I'm going off the understanding that you still need to spend 500+ hours in the business to achieve material participation (please correct me if I'm wrong). 

If for some reason this falls through should I attempt to offer more money for a quit claim deed or proceed with the newspaper notification process. 

ChatGPT tells me that the cash out proceeds even if only reimbursing myself is non deductible because the proceeds are not reinvested in property

And I feel relieved for it.I studied the whole "dynamic pricing" phenomenon for months before deciding to proceed with Pricelabs. 

Of these professional wholesalers, nearly all of them will be well capitalized professional real estate investors or large businesses doing hundreds of deals annually with many years in and around every part of the real estate investment journey.

@JR Gonzalez, You can allocate the proceeds from your sale anyway you want. 

A lot of family businesses cannot stay in business upon parent death due to no longer getting the prop 13 property tax discount.  

So I proceeded to pay for four appraisals that were like $800 apiece.

And your net proceeds will be $450K ish (again, the closing costs are subtracted from your reinvestment target.In this case you would need to purchase at least $450K of real estate using all of the net proceeds of $450K.
