Yes, on hold again as of 12/26, and you can always check the official government site itself:https://fincen.gov/boi

To me buy and hold also seems good, I'm not very interested in flipping as that seems to be a step to far to manage remotely.

How it will happen, no idea but if they open that bottle and latter they need to hold the genie they will ramp interest rates in a hurry.

Here are a couple of ways you could structure the deal:Lease Option with Seller Financing: You could lease the property with an option to buy later, allowing you to rehab it while giving the sellers time to find a 1031 replacement property.Seller Financing with Deferred Payment: Structure the seller financing with no immediate payments, allowing you to refinance once the property is appraised, and the sellers can complete the 1031 exchange when ready.Escrow Holdback: Transfer the deed into an escrow account, giving you control without immediate transfer, so the sellers can take their time with the 1031.Third-Party Facilitation: Use a qualified intermediary to hold funds and facilitate the 1031 exchange while you refinance.These options allow flexibility for both you and the sellers.

How long are you expecting to hold and do you have the money to purchase in San Diego?

Now there is a whole array of ways this could be done, I'm not gonna run down that rabbit hold but fact is doing it all 100% on your capital alone is the hardest longest road.

With the current mortgage rate constraints affecting how many buyers are willing to enter the market we are seeing a lot of borrowers have success with the BRRRR strategy with plans to sell in the next 3-5 years when interest rates go down.Researching potential LTR and STR rental amounts and seeing if holding for a few years is a viable option is a good analysis to do well. 

For example, I have a main account that is for my holding company, sub-accounts for each property, and sub-sub accounts for security deposits and things like CapEx for each property.

The only time I'd say it's an okay idea is if either: The area you're investing in is expecting so much appreciation that you will easily profit off that (watch out for mortgage interest though...the appreciation needs to be higher than what you pay in that and expenses to make it profitable)You have some specific reason for wanting to do it- family ties, future home, major long-term hold, etc.Maybe I'm forgetting another one, but those two are all I have for now...
