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. 

Hi Steve, where did you get your property tax estimate from?

The land is on two tax lots so my plan is to sell the extra lot immediately after closing for a projected $275K.The property on the other lot will be a fix and flip with projected costs of $240K and an ARV of $750K.I plan to use a PML of 2 points and 12% APY for 70% of the total cost.

Can you either rent out your current property if there’s been little/no appreciation, or sell it tax free?

Intangible assets like goodwill or tangible personal property (e.g., equipment) are excluded from 1031 treatment and are taxed separately—goodwill is typically taxed as a capital gain, while equipment may be subject to depreciation recapture taxed as ordinary income.To minimize taxes on the sale of the business, consider strategies such as Opportunity Zone investments, which defer gains until 2026 if proceeds are reinvested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF), or structuring the sale as an installment agreement to spread taxable income over multiple years.

The more experience earned, you gain insight into comparables, learn neighborhoods, get better and better in determining a real deal from a stinker.Sounds like you earned a little break now!

Approximately 6-8 weeks ago my attorney stated he was unable to get the delinquent tax 'owner' nor the squatters served in this matter. 

even if its interest only, id want to pay down principal here and there. seems like sellers would offer this interest only route so they have 0 capital gains tax, but id rather pay down a bit of principal in 7yrs. i see its not required but it should allow for principal paydown in promissary note3) any general advice to look out for on seller financing?

Sell, get the tax savings while you can.

When I look at the equity and the 15% Capital gains tax bracket I would likely be in, I would avoid ~$24,000 in taxes if sold before Aug. 2025.- I am aware of my 1031 options should I want to sell and defer taxes beyond that 3-year date (and would need to continue to do so until death if I wanted to avoid those taxes instead of just defer them). - I believe the current rental situation I have is better than the property warrants.
