Quote from @Sebastian Medina: I would search out people in your market that are flipping, and try going to a couple meetups as well.

Very well versed with fix and flip (help create a full scope of work with phasing if you are new or out of state), we have three teams of contractors to get jobs done quicky (all licensed), long and short term rentals, and love the PadSplit concept for greater returns.

I don't understand this topic very well so looking for a connection to a good real estate focused CPA to help with my filing.LLC does not change your taxes, and it's even possible that cost segregation does not.

I would love to give you any insight possible as well as point you in the right direction for vendors as well!

My first question is what creative financing strategies have worked well for you?

The property will be strictly for investment purposes, not a primary residence.I’ve been looking into two potential financing options:Hard Money Lenders (HML) – I’m drawn to this option for its speed in closing, but I know the rates can be higher.DSCR Loans – This seems like a great option for long-term rentals, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for my auction property since it might need some rehabbing.I’m also considering purchasing through a land trust or an LLC to add a layer of protection and privacy.So, my questions are:What’s the best way to approach financing for auction properties?

You are looking down a path well traveled and your criteria will be easily achieved! 

In my market - new build duplexes dont cash flow well but are typically a great 5-10 year investment. 

PS, if you're looking into commercial and syndication, would love to talk more about that as well as I specialize in those as well! 

I assume the effectiveness is written on each one and I also assume they must perform that well or face class action lawsuits.
