I'm in a 1031 exchange, having sold a commercial property in Los Angeles.

Or if you’d like to see sold comps for your condo my husband is a Realtor and he can help you out with that. 

Looking back, I am thankful for the market downturn or we would have sold it! 

I don't know the numbers on the house of the OP but in my instance, I'm unmarried and if I sold the gains would be more than 250K so doing a 1031 is the only option for me.

Zillow has a recently sold fearture you can use.

Becuase there is a cost for even using your own money or private money, you can actually offer the seller more if its cheaper to do subject to, and give that extra to the seller.

All I really need is 65%-70% of the appraised value. to pay back private money.

ya there were many Bay Area investors who bought 4 plex's through LInda Gurcheck in PHX who learned that one the hard way when the building of new subdivisions came to a screeching halt in 08 to 2012 and many of those clients had 100% vacancies on a 4 plex for year or more.these sold at the peak these 4 plexs for 300 to 350k  in 2010 I could buy them same exact building vacant of course for under 100k each.it is a very big misnomer to think that rentals cannot go vacant.. and of course this is HUGELY regional.. and current economics plays a big factor.

POL came on the scene and they were doing HML at very high rates and points in NJ .. so my back ground other than recreational private aviation that I pay through the nose for.. :)  is HML  and I am thinking wow .. this is going to some heartache and sure enough some of the folks that posted have done like 10 loans and 7 are in default.. the foreclosure time in NJ and NY two states I personally would never be a lender in is 2 to 3 years.. and by the time you get the asset back its ouch time.. and that has played out for some folks and there is a high profile one in Atlanta that has been going on for years.. suppose to sell at 6.5 million and its listed under 3 now.. although I think they may get their principal back or most of it but its been 2 or 3 years.. and you know how investors get stressed.. and then the other issue I saw coming with crowd funding .. and remember my background is I have owned 2  Hml companies over the years one of them in Oakland CA with 250 clients and about 50 million under management.. these guys went about raising money from 5 to 10k investors and would literally have 20 or 30 investors in one loan..

Maybe some guru sold Jay a $100,000 business mastermind plan.
