Work currently in the accounting field and I’m a licensed CPA in the state of Ohio and West Virginia. 

I have meetings with my lawyer to discuss partnership contract and acct for the financial piece.Since this is extremely new, I am building a team of a contractor, broker, loan officer, accountant, Lawyer and investors. 

There is a potential scenario where an outside rescue fund (marketed as preferred equity to new investors) could come into play in many of the projects that appear to be performing especially if they have been paying the pref (via a reserve account stockpiled by over raising funds in the beginning).

I’ve been studying real estate for the past few months, reading books and absorbing as much as I can.

It is also will allow for experience in managing tenants, repairs, accounting of the expenses etc...plus you get to keep a close eye on the property.

I have $80k liquid in CDs and savings accounts in the bank and a credit score between 760 - 780.

When you transfer retirement funds into a self directed account you can certainly buy real estate with it. 

Forced appreciation, where you do things to raise the value, should be taken account of in your underwriting.

If it says on the website they pay $1,500 for X number of bedrooms, they probably pay closer to $1,150 once they account for the utilities.

If entities are disregarded, you can keep up with more than 1 in a single QBO account using the location/business feature to keep track of them separately.
