Asa result, we are seeking alternative methods for acquiring off-marketproperties.While we havedeveloped a robust system for identifying and pre-qualifying potential landparcels, one of the major hurdles we face is reaching the property owners.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

I will reach out to you about new business opp. 

If electing S Corp status, pay yourself a reasonable salary to avoid IRS scrutiny.To be honest with you, you don't need any kind of Corp for tax savings unless you reach a certain amount of net income.
