  • Land and rebuild underwriting

  • How a neighboring new build changes your timing.
  • Carrying costs and tax timing before you list anything.

No drip campaign, no automated valuation report with a stock photo of a porch. One reply, from me.

A planning estimate, not tax advice. Exclusions assume you meet the ownership and use tests. Depreciation recapture, 1031 treatment and state surtaxes change the picture, and those are worth a conversation before you list.
