That's because the city won't calculate the actual amount till a structure is built, aka it's not just a plot of land anymore.This will obvious cause your property tax bill to go up and also your mortgage escrow account as well (sometimes these things can make your mortgage shoot up a few hundred a month). 

There are some accountants out there who say that the very act of doing a 1031 exchange is an attempt to avoid tax and so a 1031 purchase from a related party is a non-starter.

.)- All in Cost = Cost to build * Square foot  - Sales Price = All in Cost + (All in cost * 20%)* Covers contractor and soft cost on either fee based or cost+- Profit = (Sales price - (Sales Price * 7%))* - All in Cost   accounts for agent fees and closing cost- Initial List Price = Sales price + 10%      A buffer to test market absorption- Break Even being All in cost, point where everyone is paid except me. - List price is to test the market absorption at "x" price. 250k land + build.

It's up to you how far to take this though.When we're faced with this, we try to hold the tenants accountable, by pushing hard to do self-showings.- Who better to show the house and speak positively about than a current tenant?

I dont want cash sitting in my bank account earning nothing.

.- Tenant Accountability: Many programs have strict guidelines for tenants, and breaking those rules (e.g., property damage) could jeopardize their assistance, encouraging them to be responsible.- Inspections: Some programs require annual property inspections to ensure compliance with their standards, which can occasionally be demanding.- Damage Risk: As with any tenant, there’s potential for property damage.

Everything is nicely organized and labeled.

So the payments will be higher than a 30 year and you have to account for that.
