Quote from @Frank Pyle: My client recently purchased a home with a hard money loan and have successfully rehabbed it for use as an Airbnb rental.

If you're at all interested in North Carolina, consider the Triangle (Raleigh / Durham) and Triad (Greensboro / Winston-Salem) areas, which are my focus for both clients and myself.

@Van Lam I had a client just run into this recently.  

Avoid C-Corps, as they incur double taxation.Use LLCs for rentals and consider an S-Corp election for flips if income justifies the additional complexity.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I have several CFO clients in KC and would be happy to make some intros.

Hi @Kobe CarrThese are all things I do for my investor clients. 

Tracking hours would be kind of a pain as we tend to do a lot of partial-hour type of work like a quick phone convo or texting back and forth with a buyer client, researching properties, talking to listing agents and lenders, scheduling showings, previewing properties, travel time, etc.

One of my CFO clients just did this last year and got cashed out over $1M, which he's using to buy more properties.

Brokers look out for their clients, insurance agents look out for their job.
