The fact that you bought these properties using a 1031 is irrelevant to this issue, by the way.  

Now it's done and you do your best.Don't rash into anything quickly in such an emotional time - you'll regret later.

These numbers take precedence over the costs of money issues you are discussing here

@Chad Moore The issue with selling (or buying) it at a premium is that if the owner refinances the note, the person who bought the note at a premium, i.e. bought it above the UPB, just lost whatever amount they invested above the UPB.

It doesn't really matter if you can't take care of the "minor" issues before they move in. 

Would we run into any potential issues if we moved on this property, bought it with conventional financing, Refi’d on it and then later turned the unfinished area into a 5th rentable unit?

@Jake Keating I’d suggest consulting with a local tax and/or estate planning professional for advice on this issue to make sure you get the best advice for your specific situation. 

I am self-managing a rental property, and looking for a handyman for any issues.

In what ways can a probate bond amount affect a wholesale deal? Thankyou
