I feel like those lists are sold and resold numerous times over and over again for the same data.

we are setting up two OZ funds and would love to talk about what you've found. one is for land development and is more active the other is passive real estate ownership of extended stay. all are ground up. 

However, purchasing the replacement property from an estate where your mother-in-law is the executor and other heirs are your wife's aunts and cousins raises potential related-party concerns under Section 1031(f).The IRS generally prohibits 1031 exchanges between related parties unless both the buyer and seller hold their respective properties for at least two years after the exchange.To stay compliant and avoid disqualification, ensure:The estate sells the property directly before any distributions to heirs.You hold the replacement property for at least two years.The transaction is conducted at fair market value with no prearranged agreements.Given the IRS scrutiny of related-party 1031 exchanges, consult a qualified CPA or 1031 exchange accommodator to structure the deal properly and avoid potential capital gains tax liabilities.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Staying ahead of the game by understanding how local regulations align with state bills like SB-9, SB-684, and SB-423 can open doors to exciting development projects.SB-9: Simplifying Lot Splits and Duplex BuildsSB-9 streamlines the process for lot splits and duplex construction, offering a straightforward way to increase property value and expand housing options.SB-684: More Flexibility for Smaller ProjectsFor urban lots under 5 acres, SB-684 makes it easier to pursue smaller housing developments, transforming overlooked properties and vacant lots into productive investments.SB-423: Faster Approvals, Fewer HeadachesNo one likes endless waiting.

Sure it does. but depending on who the celebrity is/was.....That's why so many little hotels, boarding houses, vacation rentals, etc..... feature this in their advertising.And in some cases, you will not get more money, but you will get more guests.A little while ago, I went to Tombstone AZ and stayed in 'The first boarding house in Tombstone'....really cool place but kinda small and, well....old feeling.

Despite the equity We also want to take advantage of tax advantages we did stay in the property for 2 years !  

However, The requirement for single adu seems seldom enforced on duplex if it stays below 5 units. 

So, even when the market is challenging, you can still see properties and stay current.Don't take a break when the rates are high.

Lots of great info on here as well, and like they're saying the best thing to do is to find an experience broker / realtor who can help you navigate which neighborhoods to target and which ones to stay away from, as well helping you to build out your team for property managers, lenders, inspectors, contractors, ect.

Stay striving and continue to stay curious!
