Take into account what you're saving in rent (or not), how you're able to improve the property, and your plan moving forward. 

I plan on reinvesting the profits into another new construction, so I'm wondering if I can do a 1031 to avoid paying the capital gains tax.  

Last year, I spent over a month there (Tulum + Bacalar), and I plan on spending at least 2 - months a year going forward. 

Hi hope you are all doing great, I am planning to pull out some equity from my primary residence (California) which has been fully paid off.

I created a VA LLC with my daughter as the owner (for my anonymity and asset protection), and was planning to hold private mortgages (using another LLC I created), to strip equity and for anonymity.  

I plan on mastering CRE, specifically multifamily properties. 

If you weren’t planning on it, would you do it with a discount of the taxes saved?

They only build like 4 floor plans so you have an easier time getting a comp. 

To provide some context,I plan on using a conventional loan and put down 5% (That way PMI goes away).  

I've looked at First American/Data Tree and a couple of others but they seem pricey especially considering the search and records limitations on the base plans.
