From there you can identify properties that possess the base zoning and characteristics you are seeking.

Great property, perfect for the family until we can sell this place and do it again!

@Taylor, building the two single family homes you referenced, are you doing it on already developed lots in a speced neighborhood that just sells lots you build on or did you buy the land and develop from raw, put in utilities, etc....Trying to find a reasonable way to start gaining experience building/developing 

I am also hoping for recommendations for local REIA meetups that aren’t just trying to sell bootcamps with “guru’s”.Thanks in advance for your time and any insight you may have, I wish you all the best of luck and success!

Motivation to sell ideally will get you into these properties at a lower cost basis which means more cash flow and equity.

I think it's important to note that the average sale for a SFH is north of 4.5M, so at a sub 4M price point we are bringing a level of "affordability" to the neighborhood so we believe it will sell quickly.

Well damn, clearly I need better guidance on tax planning... what are some ways to tap into those losses aside from selling?

If your lender wouldn't accept additional funds, you may need to look into bridge loans or selling.

Who knows, a friend of a friend might have a house they want to sell but don't want to deal with the hassle of fixing, negotiating, and selling the property.

I know there are pros and cons to selling my primary home to my LLC but my question really goes a little deeper than just tax benefits:I am curious to know if I sell my primary home to my LLC regardless of tax benefits; and then rent it back to myself (through another LLC) … technically I don’t have a primary residence anymore so I could buy a Multifamily or Apartment complex as long as I am willing to live in one of the units correct?
