But it our responsibilities as trusted professionals to guide them away from harm and loss.In the last few years I have had people call me to find a qualified intermediary for all sorts of frivolous reasons including because they don't want to pay the tax on $1100 of long term capital gain.

LLCs can provide statutory protections, and separating assets into separate LLCs can minimize the risk of loss should an LLC get sued and insurance not cover the specific harm that was caused. 

This ensures that environmentally sensitive land remains protected, preserving its value for conservation and sustainability.In addition, properties under conservation agreements or serving as wildlife habitats are usually exempt from development.

Appreciate your thought process on finding a deal that we would still sell in a few years, I guess I always assumed that I would buy and hold something forever, but if the numbers work to buy and sell soon, then no harm there.And, I am very much in my own way constantly when it comes to waiting for the perfect opportunity.
