So the question becomes based on their individual and personal tax situation what is the estimated tax burden they'd save? 

I'm eager to learn from experienced investors, connect with other like-minded individuals, and contribute to the vibrant discussions here.

We're open to other strategies, but believe that sounds the most ideal so far. 

The refinance step is where you pull out this equity, typically in the form of a cash-out refinance.Here’s how it works:You refinance the property at its new appraised value (after rehab and renting).You take out a new loan based on that increased value, ideally for the full amount or more than what you originally paid for the property.The goal is to pull out enough money to cover the cost of the original purchase and rehab (or even more, depending on the property’s appreciation).This allows you to recover your initial investment, which can then be used to buy your next property.5.

My clients are mainly real estate developers, PE funds and individual investors doing syndications and my core skill is in real estate valuation / due diligence across real estate asset classes. 

And yes, the income from renting is still taxable, but ideally you are offsetting a chunk of that with depreciation which is a non-cash expense.You should read Amanda Han and Matt MacFarland's books as well which are available in the BP Bookstore. https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/tax-strategies-book...

We were the ideal customer of a real estate investor. 

You also can sell individual lots instead of all together. 

Quote from @Red Smith: Sheriff Sales are conducted by counties, so each county will have its own individual rule set for how the auction is conducted.

Ideally you need to throw 3-4 hours a day at it to see fruit down the road.
