@Pixel Rogue The cash out proceeds should be for business purposes such as investing in another RE project. 

I mainly focus on do ing flips and flip to rent, but I also facilitate STR and MTR in the area too.

Price is often not the main or the only concern for the seller, they have other needs.

Main question in other countries is ownership and taxes.  

U have to find developments that are purpose built for investors..

Example: owner bought $1 million SFH in San Francisco as primary, built 400 sq fit ADU, lives in ADU is making gross rental income STR  renting out two levels of main house, grosses $13,000 month.

I’m currently selling my main house and wanted to house hack but the only multi family properties coming on the market are like $1.2 million for a duplex and it just doesn’t math :/ Home prices here have always seemed to be higher than most areas. 

But, of course, the Bible does warn us about “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”It ended up costing us $35,000 (I found out later that some people in the Inner Circle class only paid $20k) to be in Lee’s Inner Circle, which I joined for the sole purpose of having funding.

But when it's equity gains, no tax, only at time of sale and if you 1031 Uncle Sam let's you continue to use that tax-$ for investing purposes.

Main reason to split the lot would be to maximize the lot for cash flowing rentals.
