I did W2 for 30 years as in corporate IT.

During the pandemic I was furloughed, so I renovated my house to studs using a lot of advanced high-performance sustainable building techniques and incorporating a lot of advanced building concepts.  

People simply won't easily buy a house with previous hystory of crumbling foundation even if it is fixed... or "claimed" to be fixed.The 70% rule also doesn't account for the projected time it takes to flip a house.And no... your predetermined "holding cost" incorporated in your 70% rule is not it.The 70% rule is a death trap and is a sure way to derail your business.Also, if we are both interested in the same property, and you give a 70% offer, you will ALWAYS be beat by me that will ACTUALLY give the highest possible offer I can make. 70% rule focuses on being "safe" and will have the effect of not getting many deals.The right method focuses on property determined risk analysis to leverage "being safe" with the amount of allowable profit (for that safety margin). 

Thankfully, we are located just outside the incorporated town of Breck so this will not apply to us.  

Later on down the road, you can consider getting an LLC or incorporate.

., and for your information, 1099's are NOT required for incorporated entities.

I guess they are asking for the articles of incorporation for the two LLCs I wrote the offers from (they do not exist yet).

Borrower agrees that until this Note is paid in full (including principal and interest, if any), this Note will be secured by a separate security agreement (incorporated here as Attachment __[fill in]__) and, if applicable, a Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement, giving Lender a security interest in the following property: _________________________[describe asset]___________________________[End Alternative B]6.

@Jonathan Johnson, you don't need to be incorporated to take tax deductions on your business.

As I am new to the business of real estate investing, I was hoping to ask for advice on what I need to address before I put the property into the company name.Amend the articles of incorporation to add me as an officer?
