If there is anything I can offer, please feel free to reach out.

Again, this is just an example.I probably would not recommend you buy single family homes if you want to replace your income.

If you are looking to pull more cash out I'd go with the second option.

This requires careful structuring and compliance with IRS rules.Installment Sales or Buyouts – Instead of distributing properties outright, investors can sell or buy out their respective shares over time, spreading out tax liability and reducing immediate capital gains impact.LLC Restructuring (State-Specific) – Converting the corporation into an LLC taxed as a partnership may allow for a more tax-efficient asset distribution.

This is unfortunately part of the game that we play.

My strategy incorporates asset protection measures like LLCs, specific trusts as well as professional property management to spread risk and ensure quality operations.As well as using tax codes to my benfiitSection 179, IRC Section 162, Cost Segregation and Bonus Depreciation and later 1031 them out for larger projects. 

I usually don't do this.

Also, if anyone has any experience in land purchasing I would appreciate any tips or websites on how to find the best deal or agent for the same.

This seems ridiculous to me considering that's almost 40%-50% of the loan we are seeking.

@Matt Smith generally speaking it’s a combination of rising interest rates which have caused cap rates to increase (thus wiping out equity), debt is resetting at higher rates, rising opex costs due to inflation and stagnant or softening of rents due to an increase of supply.
