Also, I'd think about the long-term potential for appreciation and the health of the neighborhood.All in all, I think it's great that you're at a position where you can seriously consider investing and wish you the best of luck either way you go!

We're considering selling the property due to challenges of long-distance management.We're still interested on investing out of state and plan to gradually scale our investments over the next few years, focusing on areas close to Illinois, like Wisconsin or Indiana.Any suggestions on how to approach selling our multifamily property and buying in Wisconsin or Indiana in the current market would be greatly appreciated.

The money needs to be kept in a 1031 account until you find a replacement property.Holding money in a treasury direct account is good for short-term.

This may feel expensive right now but in the long run you will be glad you did.

The downside of this strategy is that the borrower has some leverage to negotiate terms that benefit them in exchange for the Deed in Lieu.Plan executedGiven that we had ruled out the first two options, it became clear that we were going to end up taking these properties back along with inheriting any accrued liability.

Hi Danielle How long has the property vacant for? 

It still would not alleviate the other issues with an ADU addition such as revenue out long (often many months) before any incoming revenue, the worse financing associated with the ADU, that it likely makes your primary a rent controlled unit, that it detracts from the primary even if it is just yard, that adding an ADU addition is work (likely more work than a BRRRR with much lower returns), etcCan you post the valuation you receive when you receive the appraisal?
