They have kids, predicting they will be late for June as well.

I have another question though:When determining a rental property, I am predicting 10% of the rent for vacancy and 5% for repairs depending on the condition of the house.

If they put the 1031 into something with predictable passive cash flow net of expenses then you have predictable income with which to leverage your construction business but at the same time they keep their 1031tax deferral intact.A big key to this would be for them to invest in debt free instruments that qualify for 1031 treatment but minimize risk and concentrate the risk into the endeavor with you. 

That being said, zillow and other price prediction tools often pull the data from the assessors records.

Additionally, you have to be a market wizard and predict a down market for a withdrawal to even come close to making sense (and it still doesn't). 

I was hoping to organize regular inspections with my PM, but it would be nice to formalize it a bit and make predictions about upcoming major expenses. 

Lol... if only it were that easy to predict..... but such is the risk......

They couldn't time the market and predict exactly when, but it was a "for sure."

Hi Mark, What factors do you look at to predict a great upside over the next 10 years?

On the other hand, base hits are a lot easier Real estate/value add opportunities.In all, stocks can help build wealth faster under right conditions but real estate is a more predictable way of building/maintaining it.
