A company that specializes might be a good idea, but if that isn't practical because the potential difference in taxes isn't that great it is something you can do on your own.

Looking for a gut check here because my CPA/tax guy is advising against dumping the brokerage account bc taxes, missed upside - but he also admits to not specializing in real estate asset/tax protection strategies.  

Plus, you take specialized classes that line up with the profession you have chosen.

Hello Jorge,In my 25+ years as a real estate broker specializing in multi-family sales, I've only had to challenge an appraisal once.

Again, different strategies but in my opinion the larger you get the lower the risk you want and as others have pointed out I think your deals in the build to rent sector or with larger tract builders is where we focus and probably others as well. maybe this was a special deal. in a few weeks once we get the appraisal back on an infill lot we have I'll show you how we made almost a million dollars on a site that's 0.1 acres and urban with very little risk backed by appraisals. we didn't have to wait 18 months or invest 500k either. we barely needed a capital partner too and every deal we entitle we would develop.

and for the life of me I cant see what these guys do that a very good RE broker who specializes in those assets could not do for you and far better frankly. 

I’ve built relationships with brokers who specialize in Harlem, and one of them brought this off-market deal to my attention.

For kitchen and bathroom remodels, consider contractors who specialize in those areas as they’re often more efficient.
