One CAN figure out approximately how much a property sold for even if it's not listed in the records:  extrapolate the transfer taxes (state/county/city) and multiply out.Just an aside:  I remember back in the day when the appraisals were coming in short in an appreciating market (something like we have today) we would ask the buyer to pay MORE money for the transfer taxes (no law about not paying more taxes) and it would help show a higher "sales" price and help 'push' up the comps--not recommending you do that now--much more data available for all eyes.But I would recommend that you buddy up with a like-minded realtor, and work out a mutually beneficial arrangement so you can get the info you need, and they can get listings, sales, referrals, etc, that they need.Better yet, get licensed yourself and get to know the business from the inside out!

The technique is called a 1031 exchange or a like-kind exchange.

However you'd be out the LLC filing fees in the latter situation, so the LLC would appear to be disadvantageous if viewed solely through the lens of income tax compliance.If you're looking to avoid tax I'd suggest you read up on a "like-kind exchange" aka a "1031 exchange".

@Ned Carey: Much of the multi-family housing stock in Boston was built during the city's peak population boom, 1890-1930 (brownstones and wood three-deckers alike), as an upper-middle class response to tenements to increase density.
