I reached out to only 3 two got back and 1 I was actually able to have a conversation with.

Do not have this conversation hungover.

This defers capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes on the sale of your fourplex.After converting it into your primary residence, you may qualify for the primary residence capital gains exclusion ($250K single/$500K married), but only for appreciation after the conversion; gains from the rental period remain taxable.

In your case, changing the property from a rental to your primary residence constitutes a change in use.The depreciation recapture will be calculated based on the fair market value of the building at the time of conversion, not including the land value.Since you're tearing down the existing structure, the entire amount of depreciation taken over the past two years will likely be recaptured, as the building's value at conversion will effectively be zero.The recaptured amount will be taxed as ordinary income, up to a maximum rate of 25% for residential rental property (Section 1250 property).

What has been the conversion of those leads to signed opportunities?

I’m new to BP and looking forward to connecting and contributing to the conversation.

Quote from @Kornelius Friske: We have a STR located in peoria AZ. it's 6 beds (garage conversion) and about 3900 sq ft in total. our energy bill last month was $450 and has been hovering in the $350-$450 range since we went live in august.

My starting questions so far are* If zoning allows multi-family, would I need any zoning approvals for a conversion?

I think new builds don't really work from an ROI standpoint, but if you can find properties that have easy ADU conversions then the value might be there.I'm in MA and we just made ADUs legal by right, so I'm looking into the best ways to add value using them.

Quote from @Austin Ralls: Good evening BP Community, Can anyone shine some light on the rules and regulations on striking conversations with local pros and acquiring more PML to help fund deals?
