@Ryan SandersYou may want to look into a revenue participation agreement to satisfy both your desire for funds and your neighbor's desire for profits beyond a set interest rate.

If you you satisfied with the apartment, I would go with the investment property.

However, without a mortgage recorded, the borrower could sell the property w/o satisfying the loan.  

Nothing more satisfying than knowing that your efforts can be directly returned to your own wallet!

Julie MarquezProject management/construction jobs have always intrigued me - it must be very satisfying to watch a project unfold according to plan.

For example, if you injure someone in a car accident that is your fault, they can sue you directly and thereby gain control of your LLC which they can then liquidate to satisfy their judgment against you. 

The longer an Investor holds a property prior to an exchange, the more conservative the course of action is and the easier it will be to prove the Investor has satisfied the Qualified Intent requirement.

Both BPO's were low enough and Citi was more than satisfied with both.

For example, If I sell the rental house for $300,000, can I purchase some apartment buildings for $200,000 and spend another $150,000 in renovation costs to satisfy the 1031 exchange requirements?

The first thing to figure out is whether the contract T has is expired...T can't sell without satisfying his debt to S and getting a deed in T's name recorded...
