Anyway, those are my initial thoughts. 

Now, we are out of the identification window so we are left with either trying to save the current deal (which involves accepting terms that weren't initially part of the deal or call it quits and pay the capital tax gains on half of the proceeds from the sale.Are there any other options that would be worth considering?

As for capital, I will be utilizing my HELOC for initial fund on first deal.

Just initial talks w my civil, I think we can get 40 pads or so.

Initially we thought we would flip, but now we're thinking of holding and using the equity for future investments.

Bottom line, initiate the transfer of funds from Federa back into your bank account and contact your bank immediately to initiate a dispute.If anyone actually got to partake in an auction or got their money transferred back into their bank, I'd like to hear from you. 

While it’s a bigger initial expense, it aligns well with your long-term retirement strategy and could provide peace of mind for years to come.

Hey Lucas, If you are a first time flipper, I would anticipate 75% on the initial purchase price/ 100% of the rehab financed. 

Any amount over your adjusted basis in the property (initial cost minus depreciation) could be subject to capital gains tax unless you reinvest it strategically.2. 1033 Exchange (Involuntary Conversion): A 1033 exchange (involuntary conversion) is specifically designed for situations like fire, natural disasters, or eminent domain.
