Hi Everyone I have a client who is interested in buying land and building a residential home as well as a large out outbuilding to start a mechanical shop. 

When you donate appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year, you can avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation.

I am Learning Autocad and Chief Architect and would love to get my hands on Building plans for single family and multifamily for study purposes.

But how do I access the funds or profit of LLC for personals use without "commingle business and personal funds" and what the tax consequence is?

For now, the HELOC lets you continue building rental income while keeping costs manageable.

You can make anything work in any market.My concern with Austin is the amount of building that is happening.

Like it'd be awful to build up a nice base of STRs and then something like that happens and everything is empty. 

I live in California but looking to invest in Lehigh Acres with a new build Duplex.

There was one instance discussed in the forums with a syndicator called Norada (you can search the forums for that name) where they not only stopped paying dividends, but also converted everyone’s capital to an equity position - which is code for “We don’t plan to give your money back unless we can survive to eventually sell the building.”  

In my area, the vast majority of new multifamily builds has been A-class.
