If I know that my overall income will be quite a bit more in 2022 because of some non-real estate projects, doesn't it make sense for me to make sure that we close this rental by the end of 2021 so that everything is taxed at a much lower overall tax level? 

I cross check that against what my realtor and other local folks I have relationships with tell me about where the neighborhood is trending, as well as rent-o-meter and searching for high-level rental data/trends.

Yes, you can make money on new builds - that's why there's contractors out there building houses - but it tends to be either on economy of scale, or with knowledge/experience/contact levels that allow you to compete as a small builder.

I do at another site, but it hasn't asked me for tax info (what I read is that it is ONLY for processed payments, and at that 10K level, so not sure what the 600 is about).

The real estate market (both commercial & residential) in Victoria really took off in 2015, with annual rates of appreciation around 20%, this has kind of leveled out now and become a difficult area for first-time investors trying to cash flow.

They are set at different levels so if one goes out, the other kicks in.
