When I sold the condo I attempted to execute a 1031; however the deal for the property I attempted to purchase fell through (city did not issue the CO and the seller did not want to fix the issues).

About 12 years into the loan I was able to execute a cash out refinance to buy shares of the company I work for, which made a minority owner and partner*.

However, if you are are somewhere in between, always searching for best execution, then it really depends on your parameters/framework.

It's very important that the entities be set up properly.

Typically people reach out for transactional funding once they have an executed purchase agreement with the seller then another with the end buyer.

Hello Alicia,In my opinion, as long as the proper expectations were set and everything is in writing, there are only pros to partnerships.

Hi BP FamilyGood point Will, But as someone who doesn't have an website with the proper SEO.

You just have to do your research in this scenario to ensure you are estimating a proper ARV.

Hi Victoria,All of those individuals could hold the solution to your problem but may not necessarily offer budget friendly options as they have their own additional fees for such service.I would suggest speaking with a Carpenter or General Contractor who specializes in Kitchens and Baths as they can assist with the design and execution of the project.As far as some options that you have (without seeing you kitchen) you can refinish the cabinets to update the color, replace the cabinet doors to a modern style, or update the counter top and backsplash.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊
