From my end, I will be able to provide some capital for the projects, but I am also a Senior Designer and have run my own consultancy for the past 6 years.

I am a videographer, gfx editor, and a graphic designer also; I have a pretty strong idea for what I want my site to look like an I believe it will attract customers. 

It's all about the kitchen design.

And if you're not getting any offers, it's because it's overpriced for the location/design/condition.My suggestion would be to keep lowering the price until you get a sale.

The broker we're working with said there shouldn't be a problem re-financing into a permanent non-recourse loan after 15-18 months.The developer has all the expertise to oversee the build (finalizing the architectural design, dealing with the permitting, serving as GC, etc).

Aside from a stupid amount of determination, I'm married to a wonderful woman who is also not only entrepreneurially minded, but a great home designer and fantastic marketer to boot! 

Hi @Debbie Cost, The California Franchise Tax Board issued Notice 2019-05 stating installment sale "arrangements" designed to defer taxes when a 1031 Exchange fails will not defer taxes.

A 1031 is designed for more long term income producing properties.

He has seen our previous design and work and said he was impressed with the results. 

The home is not designed for large parties.Personally, I would give them written notice that this home is clearly not meeting their expectations.
