If I finish and sell faster, even better. 

Seller still owes $130,000 and wants to sell the house for $500,000 using seller financing.Thanks for the help.

Yes a PMC can handle all that.A really good one will also challenge why you want to sell on Lease-Option.

I met found his website and he had a few deals he was selling, I spoke to him and found out he was in a cash crunch to finish up some spec homes in San Antonio he was working on.

In our case it was also a much longer listing period when we decided to sell.  

This can be done after obtaining court approval through a petition for permission to sell the property by the executor or administrator of the estate, under the guidance of the probate attorney.

I would deal with it as abandoned property, sell everything off, recover as much as you can, then move on.Contact the Department of Motor Vehicles.

When I listed it to sell, I included photos of old door knobs, lead glass windows, crown moldings etc which is what I look for in an investment property in Milwaukee, the old world charm with contemporary kitchen upgrades sets the unit apart from other rentals, because of this and the size of these units 1800 SQFT each, we were able to increase the rents significantly.

Let's say you have a property that will take just a bit over 12 months to renovate and sell... now the rule for 1031s is that you can only use them if you hold the property for at least 1 full calendar year so does this mean that I can now 1031 the property or not?

I had the intent of fixing it up, renting it for a couple years then selling it.
