I am not finding much material online or a book to study from.

.: As a contractor and flipper, I dont buy materials from retailers or online.

I individually priced all my materials and got several estimates from contractors.

Rehab contractor charged $10K, the online report says $16K.

I was thinking Form 8832 is the one, but I am confused when I get to question #3 since this entity is technically owned by more than one individual.

Best experience is hand on training, and not some workshop making you go back to pay for free information online. 

A property manager that can assist with rent collection, tenant screening, maintenance, and run an online ledger for us to track expenses.

With the internet, there aren't really do overs -- most websites have other websites that grab (legally or illegally) information . . . it is pretty impossible to make anything disappear once you put it online.

We are coming down to get a feel for some neighborhoods we've been looking at moving too and don't really have too much planned so I thought it would be a great time to connect with some lenders, investors, contractors, and liked mind individuals while I'm there!

I hope the transparency is helpful to investors.Note: I have received an "Online Defamation" letter from the Blake Capital Group.
