I have actually changed directions with my investing since I posted that a year ago.

@Kyle Carter You cannot directly use a 1031 exchange to purchase a primary residence, as the IRS mandates that the replacement property must be used for investment or business purposes.

Have you considered using a self-directed IRA to invest rather than cashing it out? 

In my experience, a property with multiple cottages and outbuildings can provide all kinds of creative strategies...some folks try short-term rentals or even specialized retreats if local regulations allow.

Many investors have had to get creative by emphasizing other property perks, like pools, proximity to local attractions, or unique experiences, to offset any beach access challenges. 

You will want to consult with a lawyer.In regards to your last two questions here's some background on what makes a contract valid and enforceable:Offer: A promise to do or not do something within a certain time period Acceptance: A clear and direct statement that all terms and responsibilities are accepted Consideration: A legal and adequate inducement given in exchange for the promise Capacity: The parties to the contract must have the legal capacity and competency to contract Awareness: A party must be aware of the contract Legality: The contract must be legal in the jurisdiction it will be operating in***Not legal advice*** Steps I would take: -Review contract in detail to understand each counterparties responsibilities (if you are not aware)- Email a copy of the lease to each of the tenants listed on the lease and reiterate lease expectations for termination notice, rent payment etc. - If the lease was signed via Docusign (other esign may have same ability) - you can go to the envelope, go to history and view the IP addresses for each action taken.

Feel free to reach out here or DM me directly.

Not the intention, just being very direct here: I am not going to show those numbers for 2 reasons.1) if I did ( and I would blow you away if I did), it would only cause people to misunderstand what I am trying to teach and 2) I don't have to show you or anyone anything.

I went in a different direction so no info to offer here.

Im working on getting a duplex within this month using creative financing.
