(Probably should have made that the title... but it won't let me now lol Hope you enjoyed the story)I need somewhere to live temporarily while I work on my deal and perform and repairs needed to make the space habitable, hopefully no more than 2 months, but my first idea was renting an RV and just basically vacationing with my dogs during the process, it would be fun, but very cold and me + 3 large dogs might get cramped for that long. 

I am buying two buildings locally here in the Chicago area with exactly this scenario, and I have learned the hard way that clearing the building and forcing the rents is the best way to get your building performing.

The park is really under managed and under performing. 

You set just enough time for title to insure and for you to perform whatever due diligence you feel necessary. 

Everything is going great and the properties are performing well, however I am out of my own funds and feeling like I am not making the daily progress I am used to.

And our only role is the performance of the 1031. 

It cost us $24,000 to get our 9 certificates including the tests and work performed and we’ll claim a $13,500 tax credit on our 2021 returns. 

An inspection will be performed, which may or may not result in the deal coming to an end or a renegotiation on price. 

Not sure what unit count you're considering but the nice thing about jumping above 4 units is the bank will put more weight on the performance of the property than your own personal finances. 

A duplex generally is going to perform better because it's a single structure with 2 streams of income.
