Would haeve to put all my eggs in one basket too .

Our professions are not related to real state or construction, and I never had to constitute any kind of company in the USA (did back in Spain, but laws have nothing similar).After much reading, the only two things I'm starting to get clear are: that buying and selling within a year has very different tax implications than living in your home for a few years then selling it, and that I should find at least a good CPA and possibly a good lawyer specialized in real state to figure out how to structure this to minimize taxes and liabilities.At the end of the day, my goal remains the same that I want to end up with a couple of investment properties, don't necessarily need to base my retirement on that, but just to not have all my eggs in the same basket.

I few “bad apples” have infected the basket and when I see a blanket judgment on a whole group I care deeply about, I must share my thoughts.I used to help investors flip multi-million-dollar homes in Marin County California, one of the most affluent pack of zip codes in the country.

We appreciated her effort and put together a gift basket just to say ‘thanks’.  

I'd be concerned with not having any checks and balances if all your eggs are in one basket.

Any recommendations on advertising that has been fruitful in finding new leads?

There was food on plates left around the living room, fly strips hanging from the kitchen light, fruit snacks on the carpet, and the toilets/showers looked like they had not been cleaned in 6+ months. 

@Frank Wolter Great example of the American dream i.e. what fruits of your labor can produce.

@Kevin Mika Shame on you for lumping GCs in one bad basket.

well if they intend to and do close, all is well and right in the world, BUT if they went into the deal with no intent of closing if they didnt find a buyer for the contract, not that creates a Litigateable problem with the seller, and license law problem because they intend to collect a fee for the contract by marketing the home with out a license. they can argue "But im selling my contract not the house" well thats like saying im eating healthy because this Jelly filled doughnut has fruit in it, no one is buying that argument.
