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. 

Very few individuals keep their loan for the duration of a 30 year mortgage, much less a 50 year.

You can’t buy individual pads unless they’re separate parcelsFor you to “own” 10 out of 100 pads:The land would have to be legally subdivided into 10 separate parcelsEach parcel would need its own legal description, utilities, and tax IDThe city/county would have to approve the subdivision (they almost never do)RV parks and mobile home parks are almost always one parcel, meaning you can’t carve out 10 lots and sell them like condos.2.

Such attempts to silence individuals with legitimate financial grievances further erode public trust and raise serious ethical and legal questions.Furthermore, your threat of a lawsuit appears to fall under the category of a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) — a tactic designed to intimidate individuals into silence rather than address the underlying facts.

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.

It’s been a great way to scale into bigger opportunities without taking on more individual risk or active management.

Neither interfaces or reports seem great from the landlord side and since I would like to start creating more separation between the personal/rental/individual property finances I figured I could benefit from Baselane or Stessa through their competitive interest rates, low/no fees, and property management software.
