Have you explored affinity or in-market audience segments within your traditional search campaigns (you can also use across GDN/Youtube i believe)?

The impact on real estate will be very segmented in my estimation.

I recommend finding an investor-focused realtor/broker - one who works primarily/solely with that buyer segment - so you can have a more targeted search that is valuation based and that comes with a host of other resources like lenders, insurers, inspectors, contractors. 

I'm curious if there's the potential to instead use the money to go towards the purchase of investment property, cost segmentation, and accelerated depreciation vs. just eating the tax bill.

The news was not all bad: Employment rose in a number of major segments of our economy.

You have to take the "cost" prices with a grain of salt as it is retail numbers and it is published via Remodeler Magazine which is focused for the remodeling industry, it's a common selling tool there BUT it is legit, they do put in the research to be able to peg over a large sample segment average costs and average returns. 

Totally different market segments.
