Thank youLove to help--we do millions in sales and purchases--mostly in the Lehigh Valley area of PA==Allentown and surrounding 

My properties are all A and B grade, so the tenants are usually very satisfied with the quality of product, and most of them recognize that they're getting a deal.

Since there are fewer homes available than buyers, each home for sale becomes a hot commodity rather than being a good value.

@Arabella Palma, In order to qualify for a 1031 exchange you must have purchased that property with the intent of holding for productive use. 

As we have our own crew, we are hiring our guys on the books for liability and so we can show proper cost basis for sale.

It’s too much work.For instance, This property was bought for $5,000 (Five Thousand Dollars).Click on images to enlarge Purchase & Sale Agreement (many more examples available).This is an example of how the numbers workThere are hundreds of people doing these every day around the country.My experience is the best place to focus on these are the typical places.

If you want a cash out refinance to use the rehab costs you are required to wait 12 months https://guide.freddiemac.com/app/guide/section/4301.5  Fannie is the sameGuide Section 4203.4 for Loan Product Advisor Loan to value is lower.

Sale price: $195,000 The perfect cosmetic property.

Would you recommend making the sale contingent on the tenant leaving at the end of 90 days (or the seller getting tenant out sooner (eg cash for keys), and returning the unit broom ready, OR in the interest of moving forward would you negotiate a holdback in case eviction is necessary and to cover paint, repairs from wear and tear and carpet replacement, cleaning etc?

If all they can find is the property in the LLC, it may not be worth the additional hassle of trying to force a sale of the property to collect on their judgment.So, they’ll research who owns the LLC and what assets that individual has.
