If you're not comfortable with the process, spend some time finding a qualified attorney who can handle it for you. 

I need to place 1M in cash and at least 650 in debt to satisy my 1031. I'm in week 3 of 6 for the id time period. I have a trailing collateral lien attached to my 1031 so the replacement property can not be a syndicat...

Do I tell him he has a certain number of days to complete or I will find someone else to finish?

I am an ambitious retired network engineer who started that career after closing down my first business which was in the automobile industry، sooner later I developed an interest in investing in my property and other ones by using Airbnb. it was a really funny story to begin but you know that after one year I would be managing 33 luxury apartments distributed across one of the fastest growing communities in my country.

over the past 7 years I’ve had dealt with countless of bad contractors, several incidents with occupants of the neighborhood that the property is in ( once I walked in on squatters and got into a physical confrontation) , and of course the relentless pursuit of hungry investors calling me and any family member that tracing programs associates with me about wanting to buy my property all while dealing with a career/industry change and finishing college during a pandemic 😮‍💨.so here I am recent graduate ready to finally devote the majority of my focus to getting over my newbie investor hill.

Yes, you can sell it.Sometimes Peoria will grandfather a duplex and refer to it as a "legal nonconforming" single family zoned property with duplex as permitted use.If this is the case the new owner will be able to legally and officially use it as a duplex.I have also heard of people finding an architect to declare that the house was originally built as a duplex, which would help you get it rezoned as multi-family and duplex as permitted use.PM me for more info.

What carriers (not brokers) are we finding to work in CA? 

The Chicago community is fantastic, and you will find like minded folks very quickly. 

Additionally, finding a property in the right place to balance both of our uses is key.

Thank you,BradIt is very difficult to qualify as a rep without managing your own portfolio .You may find someone to do it(cpa) but it's a good way to get audited.
