I haven't used it personally myself, but have heard good things, and I'm sure you can use it in your area.

An LLC shields personal assets from business liabilities, while S-Corp taxation allows you to reduce self-employment taxes by taking a reasonable salary and distributing remaining profits as distributions, which aren’t subject to payroll taxes.

I both personally invest in real estate and help others gets started/expand their portfolios in various Midwest/midsouth markets.What I do with my kids: My wife and I have 2 of our rentals that are on the same street, with a home in between them.

If you pay the loan off before selling or do a refi and have $1 of equity, it won’t affect your taxable gain. 2) if you stay 2 years you’ll have 14 years of personal use out of 22 years so 63.6% of the gain cane be exempted, up to $500k.

You look like the kind of person who is going somewhere.

I know of several excellent property managers in the North Alabama area that would service the Harvest area, including several that I've never worked with personally, but have a good rep in the area. 

I've got little personal resources backing me up but am ready to dive into REI full go.

In 2008 when the stocks went down, I realized my 401k was invested with a person I had never met.

Quote from @Amanda Dobbs: Is there a place to find Private Investors as in one person?

Meeting the team personally has some value but I have worked with dozens of investors who have never been to Memphis and never meet me face to face.
