, but we still cannot cherry pick pick the appraiser on a per-property per-appraisal basis, and the laws of economics still apply to everyone.However when we know it is a complex order that will require regression analysis, comping comps, a lot of historical research, statistics-based time travel to extrapolate forward in time to the present, etc, we have the option of putting out there that we (& by we, I mean the consumer) are willing to pay more, and they can take their sweet time doing it. 

To do so, I will liquidate a good chunk of my holdings and 1031 those gains into maybe 3-30 unit complexes. 

Meanwhile, on LoopNet, about 3 minutes from this property is a 16 unit complex - 2 buildings.

I'm currently looking into getting into large apartment building and apartment complexes in OKC.

You purchase the property for $200K completing your exchange.There's a bit of complexity and cost to an improvement exchange. 

The property I ended up buying was a townhome and two months after purchase I received a letter from the HOA lawyer stating that there are not allowed to be any rental properties in this complex!

Currently, I am reviewing a 192 unit  complex. 

I actually wasn't happy with my first one but I was asking from something very complex above his competency so it wasn't his fault.

Are there any specific areas, complexes, resorts, etc. that you recommend looking? 

Some models I've seen have things so far diluted (not to mention complex) that once the smoke clears, the returns pale.
