Hi All,I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a calculator/modeling tool which can help me compare the benefits of selling a property with these four options:Sell and pay capital gains/depreciation recapture upfrontPerform 1031 exchange into new property, defer taxesSell on Seller Carryback Installment Sale, defer taxesSell on Monetized Installment Sale, defer taxesSurprisingly I couldn't find anything online which was very helpful.

The interest rate suggested is relatively low compared to their risk.

You'll need advise and counsel from offer to closing.You'll definitely want to figure out the price of the condo from other similar condos (comparables). 

With that here are some numbers on a Mutli-Family listing that I would like to post to compare what I see vs what is listed.

Earned income will come with SE taxes, but contributions to the plan will defer income taxes.Another consideration to make are the likely returns that you can get within the plan when compared to the returns you're getting currently investing outside the plan.

Some useful resources I have come across thus far:Cromford Report - Phoenix area (overall real estate market, specific for PHX area)bls.gov (economic information in general)http://www.city-data.com/ (more economic/general information)www.trulia.com (crime, schools, etc.)Are there paid sites/reports that can be found to compare overall markets bullet by bullet for a period of time and over time?

Free or discounted rent is not much of an incentive (compared to SoCal where rents are significantly higher) out here because the demands exceed the value of the rent. 

The fact that you have to pay two sets of closing costs is relatively minor compared to those things.

Either option depends on mostly one factor.....does it make sense to buy the lot and pay the costs of new construction, compared to what the market price for the duplex in good shape is.  

@Matt K. yeah I guess rents don’t scale as much percentage wise compared to prices...it’s crazy that I’m getting $3,000 for 3/1s (800 sq ft)  in deep East Oakland.
