Good Evening, I purchased a tax lien a couple years ago for a vacant lot in Sarasota off of Fruitville Rd near Bobby Jones Golf Club. 

but I will take a guess at what your askingif the developer is going to bust this into lots and you stay in you just lost your tax advantages and will be deemed a dealer at the highest tax rates.sell now no risk.. and best tax treatment you could 1031.if its one property and your saying should I partner and they are going to build an apartment on it and we will keep it.. that's different.. but you lose control because your now going to put a massive amount of debt on it.. all though in your area not too risky given market conditions.. and really depends on your developer  known, reputable and stable ?

Plus...escape velocity...Episode 113 – Jay Papasan - Very practical slow and steady adviceEpisode 221 - Tim Shiner - his concept of equity build up and "shearing the sheep" shows some of the flexibility of real estate vs a 401k Last but not least, I also recommend all the tax advice given by my fellow CPAs on the BP Podcast.

We believe that we are going to set up an LLC taxed as an S-Corp. 

having a difficult time using both the brrrr and fix and flip calculator because i intend to live in the property for 1 year so not a rehab. these calculators seem to assume i won't live in the property. based on the factors below, i'm hoping someone can poke holes.arv=270krepair=my father who is a general contractor is overestimating at 35k (it's definitely livable, but there's opportunity to upgrade/update such as the roof, floors, cabinets). i'd live there for a year and plan to either flip or rent after the year.annual expected property tax=$7.5klisted price is around $235k ($/sq ft is below comp average)comps within the past year for similar properties around $260-$280kpreferred profit (not too sure about this) but $20k is a target...i guess.estimated rental based on recent is $1.8-1.85k/monthi was thinking about offering $210k max, but the calculators recommended an estimated purchase offer between $160-$175k, which seems extremely low given the livable condition.what am i calculating wrong here? 

Joe has a tax lien for 90K which is preventing him from getting a traditional loan/financing.The house Joe lives in is paid off, but the seller has a lien on the house from his mother's nursing home.  

it doesent matter what the tax basis is , or what a independent apraiser says its worth .

I have heard that those investments provide sizable tax deductions (e.g. 70-100% of the intangible drilling costs are deductible in year 1, and all tangible drilling costs are deductible over a 7 year depreciation schedule). 

If she has lived in the property for two out of the past five years she can avoid capital gains taxes.

There’s so many things to think about when choosing one or the other: cap gains tax, holding costs, closing costs, selling costs, marketing cost, PM fees, etc.
