The funds in this case were likely held in their individual name, and a death, bankruptcy, or other could affect the ability to close out and complete the 1031 exchange.The safety and protection of exchange funds should be of utmost importance, which is why you should always work with a qualified intermediary that has some sort of regulatory oversight; not just an internal audit or something, but real regulatory oversight with an outside, independent regulatory audit.

At the end of the day, once you’ve got stabilized SFRs with leases in place and can show consistent rent collection, you’ll be well-positioned to refinance each property individually and complete your BRRRR strategy.As for your question about prioritizing a local lender — it really depends.Local lenders can sometimes be private lenders who’ll help fund the purchase and renovation phase, but they typically don’t offer long-term loans.
