@Kevin Collins I apologize; my response came out a little rough around the edges and I assume that you certainly have done your homework prior too.... but that is a bit of my point... nothing will change when you go and work with a realtor and find investment properties yourself... figuring out what the property is worth IS PART OF THE ANALYSIS (if that's important to you) and because of this it is no different than other than you should now be verifying what the realtor will tell you it's worth as opposed to what the turnkey is telling you. 

After looking into it more, I'm concerned about potential tax implications and legal issues, such as piercing the corporate veil.

@Tom HallAt 7% if you can I would pay it down as investing it net after tax gains may not get you the 7% you are paying - so it’s less riskDownside is you lose liquidity of that money as it’s tied in your propertyIf rates come down in future you can refinance and even take some of the cash out.Regarding your question are rates coming down, a lot of factors come into play but right now it does not appear there will be significant changes to rates over next 3-6 months.

It’s also become evident the seller knew of the encroachment prior to listing.

@Kezia Edmonson, it's all about the valuations as @Jon Taylor mentioned.In your 1031 exchange you must purchase at least as much investment property as you sold in order to defer all tax. 

I love the concept especially given the need in your market for storing things like snow machines, boats, rvs etc, but also for repair or general "fab shops".As long as you are seeing the demand in your specific market for these spaces, and perhaps its worth getting some leases signed up prior to breaking ground but thats a personal preference thing, I think the numbers look promising if the use case is there.

OK i have real experince at this having bought CA tax sales for decades..

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

After this tax year, I will know exactly what I need to do to progress.
