Here in my urban market, it is the uniquely designed places that can demand and get higher prices.

Some geared for manufacturing, some geared for home building, some geared for interior design etc etc etc

Since I don't have all that information it's really not a good idea for you to take any answer I might give you because it might be right for me but wrong for you..1031 is usually not an option in syndication because it's designed for "like kind" exchange and while many people stretch the definition of "like" IRS will not take exchanging real estate with securities (in syndications you buy shares of the LLC).Only way to do that is if the sponsors somehow structure the holding in a way that the investors are TICs but I personally haven't seen one done this way. 

When I saw "Specialist" a service person designation I thought you might be in the service.  

, THEN you would be in trouble, because now you are representing them in an agency relationship and you can't do that unless you are a Licensed Managing Broker or an agent of one (in WA, a RE Broker or Designated Broker).

They cover the Owner/Contractor agreement, Owner/Architect agreement, JV and Design Build agreements and many many more legal arrangements.

With circuit court judges granting automatic TROs for any and all reasons, with bankruptcy court judges and trustees making lenders wait a year or more before lifting a foreclosure stay, and with sharp attorneys exploiting every loophole and typo to try to get their clients out from under a legal obligation, the trust deed investor can no longer depend on trust deeds and notes designed from boilerplate language by new and low priced legal talent.

So, payments may not actually be smaller, it will dependc on the initial principal reduction.It is very easy to design any adjustable rate mortgage to meet any scheduled reduction you like.

I've dealt with fire, flood, theft, squatters, copper thieves, gunplay, fleas, cockroaches, a crawlspace full of human waste, a pitfull, police, a tree falling on the neighbor's garage, city inspectors that I wanted to fistfight, calls to 911, tenant's probation officers, shingles blowing off a house, siding blowing off a house, used needles left in a house, mirror with cocaine on it left behind by a tenant, crackheads, single moms hitting on me so I don't evict them, neighbors that hate my tenants, tenants that hate the naighbors, bounced checks, and all around general stupidity that makes me want to pull out what hair I have left.I will try to think of a good story that applies.

No longer your problem.Again, I have never tried this, but I think it is designed to provide some leverage when talking to them about paying their debts.
