In my future real estate plans, I want to make my flips as environmentally friendly as possible, and that includes smart technologies (likes Nest thermostats and smoke alarms).

Marie Poe I've seen entities used, of course, nested inside other entities, etc. 

One benefit I see for her is she is extremely worried about her financial future, the company she works for is known for firing people who are months short of full pension benefits, which at this point for her would be about a $3k/ month, and I would love to show her how to we could give her the benefits tax breaks through the investments and growing a bigger nest egg before she retires.

Its hard to do and I don't recommend for beginners.c. imho the best place to start is 1 single family house that you can rent out for positive cash flow and use as little of your nest egg and finance as much as you can, while still having cash flow.

If your nest egg totals $1.86M, you are in the top 5%.

The cash from just a 1 to 2 option deals per year could build a nice nest egg for your retirement.

To get started on the cheap, you might want to take a look at mobile homes to build up your initial investing nest egg.

By doing several wholesale flips you can build that nest egg.There are a number of threads here on Bigger pockets about tax liens and deeds.

It could be an easy fix, but it needs to be addressed or you will find droppings and other "nasties" accumulating which will lead to terrible odors that will drive tenants away - if they weren't scarred already.From personal experience, rats can take some time to completely eliminate because when they find a warm and dark place, they tend to nest there.

Give me the money I earn, in order to create my own nest egg.
