I’m excited to put in the work and get started on this path.

However, I’m new to navigating such a situation, and I’m looking for guidance on:Collaborating with neighboring property owners to reduce costs and share resources.Structuring deals involving land contributions and joint development efforts.Attracting capital partners for projects like this.I think this could turn into a win-win for everyone involved, but I want to ensure it’s planned and structured correctly.

In this case, correct, 1031 exchange is not available. 1031 exchange is property for property, and an interest in a partnership normally is not (with a few rare exceptions, so you may want someone knowledgeable to give you a second opinion for your particular situation, which requires reading your inheritance documents.)Whether or not you have any mitigation strategies totally depends on your specific situation and requires a one-on-one. 

We would also have to close on the house first before being able to open a business account, correct?

Travis, you’re absolutely correct, and I truly appreciate your insight.

Quote from @Marc Zak: In the market where I live (San Diego), appreciation has been strong and many predict it will continue to appreciate in the long term.However, with current interest rates (6% at best) and property tax (2%), the annual cost burden is 8%.Am I correct in saying that appreciation has to be above 8% annually (plus whatever my maintenance and vacancy costs are) for me to make any money in this scenario if the property is cash flow neutral?

Happy to help strategize a path forward that fits your goals!

I promise you will have options once you finish renovating.If you purchased correctly (location & purchase price), you will have enough equity so that you can either sell it for tax free capital gains, cash out refinance (if mortgage rates are lower), or pull a HELOC to acquire your next property!

I had to search it myself and call listing agent who edited the correct listed property and not mine :)Also, if you are getting random "I heard you were selling your house" calls and texts, they are usually wholesalers trying to get you to consider selling even if you're not.

If that’s correct, here’s my non-expert opinion.
