Anyone can answer a question but this pre interview interview shows you if they have these qualities with out even having to ask and they are the most important qualities in my opinion a realtor can have.

That being said, the only way to get a competent answer on this is through a consultation with an attorney that looks at YOUR particular situation, not a generic, theoretic one.

The answer is usually obvious if you can take the tax hit, but in your case assuming 5-7 years away from needing/wanting to distribute money to yourself, this is a decision you need to make with your tax advisor.

Happy to connect and answer any questions you may have.

@Sheena Varghese, sounds like you have your answer.
