Property taxes will likely be reassessed based on the transfer value, so confirm local rules to anticipate potential increases.If you hold the property for at least one year, you can use the equity as collateral for a construction loan, aligning with your long-term financing plans.

With the person in the basket, we should reach 30 foot around and hopefully be able to do 2 or 3 trees at each stop.

Anyone can tell you they think there are deals out there, but ask them to show you which ones, and then evaluate it for appreciation as well as rental strength. 

For your $240K new-build townhouse, a cost seg may make sense if the tax savings outweigh the study cost (~$3K–$6K), especially since you plan to hold it for 10+ years and can benefit from immediate bonus depreciation.For the $380K older townhouse, cost seg with look-back depreciation could provide significant one-time deductions for missed depreciation over the past six years.

I read that one of the requirements for getting your second FHA loan is having a change in family size.

Went and viewed about 10 properties, made an offer on one without a buyer's agent, so that the selling agent would double end the deal and they accepted a below ask offer at a time when prices were climbing.How did you finance this deal?
