These are public record and there is a GIS Database (Portal Catastro Digital y Productos Cartográficos (crimpr.net))where you can access this parcels to see their "Catastro number", owner, area, the assessed value for both the land and the structure for tax purposes and you should also see the date of the last sale and the price.

. , @Jason Dillard is spot on with regard to eligibility for 1031 and the way to mitigate.If your goal is to be a fixer flipper or a wholesaler as he is and can generate the velocity needed then he's probably right in his assessment that you can make more cash flow flipping or wholesaling (although the net tax difference dissipates most of that differential). 

I am an active duty army officer that has lived in many states.

And although I have not looked into those areas very much, plenty of active investors on here swear by these markets.

I have heard of 15K or larger assessments on each unit to make up the difference when repairs are needed and the reserves are not adequate. 

How do you assess the area if you're investing out of state?

Active real estate investing is too much work to not achieve outpaced returns relative to other investment options.

I am simply using more precise language.I do this because Unrelated Business Taxable Income (UBTI) is generated when a tax-exempt entity engages in a trade or business on a regular or repeated basis (i.e. flipping houses or other types of dealer activities). 

I'm pretty active in KC and can say that there is no shortage of buyers. 

Yes, if you pay more than the current tax assessment value for a property the taxes for the following year could increase.
