These policies have been to the detriment of small businesses, the self employed and to large extent  true GDP producers.

Self managing is a solid way to learn the business, and it’s smart that you’re already setting up systems and tools. 

@Gregory SchwartzThe answer starts with an honest self examination and assessment. 

Yes, I am looking for an online platform to begin self-managing too.

Our instincts are to eventually rent it and use the income for payment assistance on a new home mortgage.

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 suspect there would be massive blow back if the feds attempt to lower sec 8 rental assistance. 

@Joshua Patterson nice intro, but what specifically do you need our assistance with?

So often rentals don't have taxable income; and once they do it's still not subject to the payroll taxes paid by W2 wages or on self employed income. 

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.
