I'm sure there are other similar services out there. 2) DSCR loans would probably be your best bet.

It's been a long-time dream to do a new build and so I'm actively working to find land and begin the process.I agree that the profit margin you post seems very small.

Purchasing the LLC gives you ownership of the property, but it also opens you up to additional legal exposure since the entity has been active, and there is no way to really know for sure what else they used the LLC for.

S-Corps are generally for active income (think Flip, Real Estate Agrent) andLLCs are generally for passive income (like rentals/STRs)The LLC and insurance is what investors are calling “Asset Protection” and it’s something you’ll want to invest in.

However, the tax treatment differs between short-term and long-term rentals:Short-Term Rentals (STRs): If you materially participate (work 100+ hours and more than anyone else on the property), you may be able to offset rental deductions against W-2 or other active income, offering greater tax benefits.Long-Term Rentals (LTRs): If your AGI exceeds $100K, your rental losses may be limited, unless you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS).If you plan to expand your rental portfolio, consider an LLC later for liability protection and easier management.

If you invest in RE, whether active or passive(management team, syndications, crowdfunding), I'd love the chance to quickly explain the structure and hear your thoughts on what might need to be improved.

But it's rapid price growth and sales activity could indicate a more volatile market, with the potential for corrections if demand slows as affordability becomes an issue.

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I'm an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

My point is this, I am actively involved/advising this investor, providing local vendors contacts (handyperson, surveyor, painters, etc) and I "don't wait for them to call me", I call them weekly.
