Its unfortunate that your closing costs increased by $3,546 in order to fund your tax and insurance escrow accounts.

But if you think appreciation has stalled or capital expense might be lurking then a 1031 is better than just a sale because you get the compounding effect of the deferred tax working for you not the government.

please suggest to avoid gain tax and avoid being labeled as dealer by IRS?

All cashflow after that will go directly to your bank account.When you make contributions from SDIRA on the other hand, you don't get to enjoy the cashflow and all profits right away since all proceeds go directly back into the IRA account and you end up paying taxes when you are ready to cash out.My question is what method do most investors prefer to go with when investing in syndications ? 

I also heard from a home consultant on a new project out there that they're planning to build about 5,000 new homes, though he didn't know how long that's going to take.

Do we have to show proof to the buyer that he has settled the capital gains tax and/or provide the IRS certificate? 

I also feel like there are potential tax benefits to a loan instead of contribution/distribution.

And for over 10 years, I have been in multifamily affordable housing development, and I am very familiar with asset management, property management, construction, and tax credit financing.

Hi Tax masters,I have a question about the county mortgage tax when purchasing a property.I'm quoting a mortgage from 3 lenders for a small multi-family in Bushwick/Ridgewood area (Brooklyn NY), and one of them estimated the county mortgage tax in their quote when the other 2 didn't.If anyone has some knowledges to share with this, I would appreciate it.

If you truly want professional advise to confirm what the other forum is telling you, or to assist with your own research, I would suggest paying for a consultation with a CPA rather than relying on that of a free/public forum.
