As of this morning, WSJ Prime is 7.75%, so I would expect the rate to be over 8% at the very least.

If one can determine with relative certainty that today's tax rate is less than expected future tax rate then Roth makes sense.

Do you need an S-Corp depends on your overall tax situation and profit you are expecting form this flip.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Transitioning from builder’s risk to a regular property insurance policy might be the way to go if the sale takes longer than expected.

I remember failing a few times learning the equity markets and fully expect real estate to be as hard, if not harder to navigate.

For this situation, communicate very clearly and bluntly with the tenants and try to realign expectations so they don’t do this same with you.

First you need to learn to separate the following:Maintenance: usually things related to wear & tear or tenant damage.Repairs: usually broken items like doors & windows, caused by tenant or nature.Capital Improvements: usually expensive things that wear out: hot water tanks, furnaces, roofs, etc.The seller is correct that Repairs & Capital Improvement items should not be a factor for awhile (ALWAYS get your own inspection to confirm).

@Josue RamosRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

If I reach out to a realtor, will they expect me to pay them to collect comps for me? 

Those that still reside are not expecting to stay anyways.
