Selling to investors at a fraction of its worth is not ideal, so I'm looking for alternative solutions.

I would definitely ask your lender for an alternative.

His company organizes structured settlement sales as an alternative to 1031. 

Many alternative lenders simply do not lend on mix-use real estate or require the commercial to residential exposure to be below certain thresholds.

That is, unless investors are now willing to pay more than the 1% rule used to dictate.I know it will cost some time and money to get them vacant and fixed up, but the alternative seems to be to leave 10s of thousands of dollars on the table.

Townhomes are also a good alternative.

***Self directed IRAs have become very hot among investors with the rise in popularity in alternative investments such as real estate, gold, and cryptocurrency.

Consider other funding alternatives, be conservative with rent predictions, and be adaptable.

RentEngine - is not a syndication-only provider, and the co-founder is not able to devote resources to making it a Rentlinx alternative.

What would be a better alternative based on your experience than?
