Quote from @Michael Overall: Good day, If an investor has 10 rentals and wanted to over time sell them and put the money tax free from a 1031 toward a large purchase is there a process to do that? 

I was able to get my money back in using business line of credit without touching or doing anything to the property.

funds only go into interpleader after months of sitting in escrow. the court just does not hand the money to the seller either.. if not agreed upon the funds go to the state etc.

For me it’s been a blessing and money well spent.

If you don’t want to spend money I’m pretty sure you could get someone to grade the surrounding dirt and add some gutters for your $5k discount and gain you will have added value and come out ahead.

Could these waits be mitigated by going the hard/private money route?

Can you use the money and get a better return?

.#2  MINDSET:  Just like some people will NEVER become real estate investors regardless of time, money, related profession, - MOST people will never become real estate investors.   

Looks to be enough room to make money but just be sure you're very confident in the comps in the area the property is in. 

The investor would buy an ugly black box that produced money if it was the right price.
