I thought having access to the MLS and vacant houses as a Realtor, and not paying closing costs would be beneficial, and I could incorporate what I learn in sales into the investment side of real estate.  

I have done a lot of research and have realized it's best, specially for tax purposes, to incorporate or set up LLC.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), annualized, and divided by the median sales price of residential properties in each county.ATTOM Data Solutions also incorporated weekly wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and demographic data from the U.S.

., it seems to me that this might actually be a good reason to incorporate.

My suggestion is to flip your first house or two without the added complexity of trying to incorporate the people who are looking for a second chance. 

I am trying to find a reliable financial adviser that incorporates real estate holdings into his areas of expertise.  

Ultimately, I ended up doing what you did and had two submeters installed and incorporated each unit's responsibility for their portion of the monthly bill into the Condo Docs.

If I acquire a house under contract do I make my money by selling higher than the value of the house and collecting the profit or incorporate a reasonable standardized fee?

Hi @Emilio RLots at that price are not in the incorporated limits of the city.

However, I don't want to totally discount this aspect of real estate ownership.The model of the future will incorporate predictable and steady returns the way people currently hope things will work out.2.
