I am planning on a 5-10 year rehab period, so it will not be a quick process.

How quickly do you need the money back?

They only need to close within a time frame that includes the first one to sell (in other words they all sell within 180 days of the sale of the first property) as long as you can locate the right replacement and get the right terms.Another very attractive option would be to scale down a little and maybe look for a replacement property that you could get for $600K - like a 2.4 - $3 mil property that needs $400K of work to get it to high functioning. 

@Darron Washington  I hope to jump in as quickly as possible as well! 

Cash buyers usually get them pretty quickly.

He's doing mostly SFHs but they are cheaper, and turn quickly. 

Auction buyers have to have real money for deposits and the ability to close quickly.

Assets that can be quickly converted into cash are considered "liquid assets."

Flying out or getting multiple bids as crazy as it seems is more expensive then just paying (a higher amount) to get it done quickly. 

Space is attractive, with a large atrium in center that provides an open, light-filled, airy feeling.
