On the flip side the clients I fund in my land deals are doing very very well in the foothill subdivision 50 miles or so west of the springs.. but thats the land game buy low sell high.. cant wholesale that stuff it needs to go on MLS to marketed and turn around time is generally 90 to 180 days but nice margins for my clients ..

If you're expecting property owners to sell their home to you at a discount, you'll need to earn their trust - whether that be by demonstrating a successful track record with purchasing/selling similar deals OR by meeting them face to face and separating yourself from the dozens of local investors and realtors.Lastly, I'd recommend searching past posts related to this topic as well as checking out books related to your target investment strategies.All the best!

You sell your investments whenever it no longer makes business sense to hold them, not when you "need" it for tax reasons!

When you add rehab costs and effort, holding costs, and selling cost there is not much profit. 

@Deepak Malhotra When did you sell this property?

@Roni Williams how is this different from a lot of agents that sell an investor a property and refer them to a PMC?

We would split the lot off and sell it. 

On the third month, ask them if they know anyone looking to buy or sell and that you are looking for referrals.

Sell,  pay the taxes, and give them their $1,000 plus half the after tax profits?

You could build or flip less expensive units and sell them to your clients/occupants over time.
