You may make $50k on a flip but have to wait 6 months from list. ( in specific areas - not all of CLE)As a full time investor turn time is hyper important for me to turn my properties and money over as many times as possible in a year.Another example is are you a flipper or a renter.

So feel free to reach out to me with specific questions you may have.

I will not comment as to the tax laws and underlying rules - that is a discussion you can have with your tax advisor who presumably you are paying to help you.What I will do is provide practical and business guidance on tracking time.Firstly, there are apps available that can assist with time tracking where you can specifically detail your time, who you met with, etc.

In light of this, I have been exploring the possibility of pursuing creative finance options, specifically seller finance deals, as a potential means to achieve my goals.

@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.

I think it will add more competition to the rental market and the buyer market specifically up in N Phoenix, Deer Valley, Desert Ridge, and then up into Anthem - but will bring up value throughout the county. 

True although the fires this year just adds to the reasons to leave California (excessive taxation and regulation, overbearing political correctness, downtowns littered with feces, etc.).

It seemed like most the folks you have on staff are CPA or other, but no specific legal experts.

There are restrictions and unhosted seem to be illegal - https://www.longbeach.gov/globalassets/lbcd/media-library/do...They say that it isn't specifically prohibited but it is banned by the omission.

There are thousands of pages on consumer protection laws and regulations that depending how you go about doing a subject to could be against these laws and regulations. so like most things - is itillegal - it depends.
