I've been researching new construction vs. buying, and I find that many articles say that new builds may cost a little more up front, but can save in other ways in the long run.

I just read this great article by @David Thompson, and want to check my understanding of taxes for limited partners in real estate syndication.- Income distributions are taxed at ordinary income rates, but there may be no taxes at all if there are "paper losses" from accelerated depreciation.- If cash is returned to the investor through a refinance, that is a partial return of equity and a non-taxable event.- When the property is sold, any gains are taxed as capital gains. - A 1031 exchange of sorts is possible if you roll the sale of the limited partnership into a similar and larger limited partnership, but you cannot 1031 directly into your own property acquisition.Am I getting this about right?
