If you're going to work with an agency, you should work with an actual agency rather that is unbiased in my opinion.

Realtor Opinion of value What was the outcome?

Everyone will have a different opinion on this but personally I'm not a fan of new construction.

@Brice Alef-Torrisi putting each property in its own LLC is usually overkill.Getting a bank account for each LLC is typically something you need to do to avoid "piercing of the LLC corporate veil" (actually depends on tax selection you made for LLC), but is also overkill.You haven't indicated how you are holding the deed for the latest property.If in your name or same LLC, you don't need a separate bank account.If in separate LLC, you can create a Master LLC, have each property LLC hire the Master LLC to manage their affairs, and just get a bank account for Master LLC.This is an opinion, not advice, so lookup CPA Frank Alcini in Troy for expert advice.

The tax rate difference from from long term to short term alone won't make it worthwhile in my opinion- add the 401K withdrawal penalty on top.

Lastly and then I will stop rambling... and this is just my opinion. 

There i a bit of research that needs to be completed early on in order to get a good judgement on the feasibility of this; from there, the "Official" way to ensure you could pursue this would be to request a "Zoning Opinion Letter" to receive an Official decision from the Department of Zoning in order to ensure this will not cause any issues during your permit review.
