@Desiree Board For your mix of long-term rentals (LTRs), short-term rentals (STRs), and house flipping, an LLC is ideal for liability protection and pass-through taxation.

Leverage your construction skills for flips, start with smaller projects to minimize risk, and consider house hacking or long-term rentals for a steady income.

You can look into the fix and flip route.

(fix and flips) Hello, What is it that you are actually looking for?

I’m under contract with my latest flip, the proceeds of which will pay off the heloc that I use to buy and rehab properties.

I have a full time W2 that I'm passionate about, so I feel this process will allow me to time to make sound decisions as opposed to quick fix n flips.

Quote from @Bekah Estes: Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Bekah Estes: My name is Bekah and me and my husband are doing our first flip.

OK, so how do you plan to fund these fix/flips?

Since you already know the metrics in the fix & flip game, this might be an avenue for you to consider.

Quote from @Christian Solis: When looking for private money how do you guys properly present a fix and flip and how do you structure that deal so they are happy with there return on investment ?
