The OP asked a direct question.

That's right, only those willing to compromise.This is also why many so-called "creative financing" deals often involve low-quality properties.

Since you are only selling the development rights and not the entire property, the existing mortgage on the building does not directly impact the 1031 exchange of the development rights.

It is highly specific, my recommendation is to contact the city directly with qualifying questions or have us do it for you :) In general Astoria is also a No-Go with the exception of commercially zoned properties.

I have never owned my own property, yet grew up in a family real-estate holding company and directly understand the power of real estate investing.Since 2020 ive seen homes double in price. 

LoanGuys is a direct lender.

great resource; appreciate the direction :) 

If you want the exact process you'd need to speak directly to the planning/zoning dept and specifically ask them these questions to outline the exact process for this property. 

Your post neither provides valuable or additional information nor did you post direct questions like the rest of us do.    

marketing such as google adds, Facebook, direct mail and I'm sure the list goes on.
