I personally learned I enjoy local investing in residential properties.

But even to this day the money is always the winner not me.. thats how you raise significant capital ..

Even a LOI is not strong enough to start spending time, effort and MONEY on due diligence.  

Even a single family builds can vary significantly based on site conditions and required structure/design.

Realistically you would expect the house to continue to appreciate during that time as well... even if at 3.33% appreciation - that is another $50,000 in appreciation you would make in the 3 years - give or take.  

Just don't see the S-Corp or another LLC having a place here..I've heard tax advisors say it takes around $70k min of self employment income for the break even point for S-Corp to make sense.

And honestly, even a DSCR loan by itself, under an LLC, also doesn't provide much shielding. 

We are both analytical and enjoy working with numbers.  

You could trim your expenses by eliminating property management - you can absolutely do this yourself on a 6-unit, even as a newbie.
