I'd love to hear anyone's experience in the construction of a duplex on land.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice starting off with this business model.

., zoning exceptions for business in a primary residence, city lots for sale for under $15,000.  

I am a co-host in Dallas and Waco, TX and I have an idea of what types of owners and properties I want in my co-host portfolio----and with each client/property I learn which qualities are working for my business setup or what qualities I need to be working on to upskill.

I define small business owners as people who employ w2 employees.

However, you can reduce tax liability by:Converting the flip into a rental for at least a year, allowing for depreciation and potential 1031 exchange benefits when selling.Offsetting gains with deductions, such as accelerating business expenses or using cost segregation for rentals.Using an S-Corp for future flips to lower self-employment taxes while keeping rentals in an LLC for liability protection.Deferring deductions to 2025 if your 2024 taxable income is high.While a 1031 exchange isn’t an option for flips, strategic tax planning can help minimize taxes.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I still have a hard time understanding how this business model works for them, but perhaps that upfront fee covers for lack of deal flow (?) 

.- why would an owner want to do business with someone NOT properly licensed?

I'm really busy with my w2 job working all the time to fund my investments. 

*I'm a property manager, not an owner, so I do have a 3rd account for business expenses as required here in Oregon.There are a plethora of software/apps out there for managing properties and funds.
