Supply and Demand11.

According to the article, around 5% of the properties are being bought by investment companies, leading to concerns that regular homebuyers are being priced out of the market.1) Do you think this could become a long-term issue, given that the current percentage of investor-bought properties is relatively small?

Transitioning from builder’s risk to a regular property insurance policy might be the way to go if the sale takes longer than expected.

I guess my challenge right now is to define the strategy and balance all the factors, such as job and population growth (value increase), cashflow (demand & supply market, interest rate, property tax, maintenance cost), and risk control (insurance etc). 

This is due to bonus depreciation which allows taxpayers to deduct 100% of qualifying property costs in the first year, in addition to regular depreciation for new construction and improvement.

@Nadia Jones Starting and running a fund is a separate business because it's something that you need to actively market for and regularly work on attracting capital to invest in. 

For a regular 1031 you will find a range of prices from 900 ish to 1500 ish for a complete exchange. 

It’s a good gesture assuming it is part of what gets regularly checked and restocked if needed. 

Maybe you could extend the closings with some additional earnest money (even if you release it) and buy the time so you can simply do a regular 1031 exchange.  

Focus on quality over quantity and regularly reassess your portfolio and strategies to stay aligned with financial independence goals.Good luck!
