Of these professional wholesalers, nearly all of them will be well capitalized professional real estate investors or large businesses doing hundreds of deals annually with many years in and around every part of the real estate investment journey.

I normally advise that people start a business as a sole propeitor in their first year.If it is successful and something you want to continue, then have a conversation regarding entities.

I signed up for Baselane today after switching from Mercury for my business account (LLC).

I'm a retired engineer and have been successfully using income from these houses to support my retirement without dipping into retirement savings.I'm transitioning my business from rentals to a franchise and would consider selling one of my houses (5 br/4 ba - the other houses my son while he's still attending).

Usually most franchise models in other business environments have the whole package.

Are the business on there trusted? 

-22 years old-$50,000 pre tax income from business this year-80k in savings-30k in investments-pre approved for $350,000 (had to use parents as co-signers because I started business 2 years ago and didn’t make much first year)Looking to get into first house by house hacking a 4 bed 2 bath renting out 3 rooms.

Would that lower our tax liability from other income we receive or no because this is purely RE and not an operating business?

You're running a business and when you proactively do so, your tenants will know that you're holding up your end of the lease - and if they don't, they don't stay.Hope this helps.  

To support my seller and seize a valuable opportunity, my business partner and I decided to purchase the property ourselves.
