Right now I'm working on renovating hallway areas of an 8 story condo building and we will be removing (or creating) surplus materials - 8" stained/unpainted egg-and-dart crown molding, chair rails, and more than 200 light fixtures, - all in good condition.

recently purchased a 4plex in HB, Ca.We are on state farm insurance and everything is fine, decided to shop around and noticed that USAA is lower with similar level/amounts.USAA however required that all tenants i forget the exact phrasing but something like "tenants for at least 6months"Now i said that my tenants have been there for over 10 years, and are technically on month to month now.

From what I understand so far, wholesaling, flipping, renting, seller financing, and lease options are exit strategies but I'm rather confused on how they're "exit" strategies More like "conditions" and if a condition is not met the contract can is void or voidable. 

I've done the same for recently sold similar condition and configured properties to get idea of cash on cash returns in neighborhoods I'm interested in.  

@Jessica Chow can you upload photos of the existing condition?

We were all set to close on the sale of my flip until my buyers lender decided they needed a few more conditions cleared: It is a high interest (8%) jumbo loan with 10% and low 600 credit (640 maybe?).  

And love your strategy to owner / occupy a multi-family as your first deal...if I started over today I would take that exact path. 

I've done the same for recently sold similar condition and configured properties to get idea of cash on cash returns in neighborhoods I'm interested in.Mostly between $200-400K.

Syndications and DSTs may or may not qualify for a condo like-kind exchange, depending on the asset and structure of the exchange.If it were me, a small MF is exactly what I would purchase next, depending on the amount of the proceedsI would also get an agent to find the next deal for you, one that works with investors and can simply bring you properties that meet the 1031 and your criteria.

I don’t negotiate if I already have what I want/need to cover my costs to bring it back to “rent ready” condition.
