Was looking for some better ideas for tax planning, and saw this one, but then wondering now how much money I need bring to table.I also have another house I could sell, and maybe 1031 exchange with like 300k equity in it, so not sure if that would help.

Forced appreciation, appreciation, tax savings, principal paydown and (the most valuable in my opinion) experience. 

OR should i avoid the HELOC all together and look for capital else where..?

Assuming he/she does not sell the property at the end of 10 years, at that point will taxes be owed on the property's appraised value?

I have been talking to investors here and there, and everyone mentioning there are certain areas I need to avoid.

There are definitely investors making a ton of money flipping in CA, but there are a number of risk factors that we avoid by investing “out of state”.

It's a sales pitch, avoid at all costs

Thanks to the Cost Segregation Study, the property investors were able to reclassify the property components and accelerate their depreciation for a total of $356,000 in the first year.The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

I'm not an expert at this but something is off to me has anybody been told this as well.Thank you,Could be that the lender wants to avoid IRS/Treasury disclosure trouble for transactions over $10,000 (part of the know your customer rule).So as another poster said; when you say “cash” do you mean physical notes that we all carry around in our wallets? 

(yes, I will check with my tax professional also)
