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

Mostly because the tax incentives are *insanely* good. 

If you need an LLC for tax reasons later, you can move title into an LLC later for a couple hundred bucks.

.- Rents staying flat while property taxes and insurance increase.- Unexpected expenses that eat into profits.For example, some investors who bought in 2022 at high interest rates expected strong rent growth to cover costs.

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

Focus on tax-saving strategies such as cost segregation studies and bonus depreciation to accelerate deductions.By qualifying as a Real Estate Professional (spending 750+ hours annually and materially participating), you can offset your wife’s S-Corp income with real estate losses, reducing your tax liability.

In '23 the state set records for tourism revenues and visitors to the state, a hat tip to your point about year-round demand. 

The property owner's tax professional can help them with that and ensure they don't pay taxes twice on the same income.Disclaimer: My advice/opinion in this post is just that, my opinion.

I’m in the 33% tax bracket through my real job and this could be a big difference in taxes owed if we sold the property?
