@Vidit Maini Starting your business as an LLC taxed as a C corporation offers flexibility but involves double taxation unless you elect S corp status, allowing profits to pass through to your personal return.For tax savings, deduct startup costs, track business mileage or vehicle expenses, and consider a home office deduction.

And I also see many questions popping up about running a short term rental business, which to me is more of a business than an investment although it does involve an investment in real estate. 

I don't think rent to retirement can vet a deal any better than anyone else or you, they just have a bit of a system. but the new builds in Lehigh acres, Cape Coral, north port, etc are all garbage. septic systems, poor economics, low rent to purchase price ratios, you are banking on appreciation and buying at market. building direct is going to give you a competitive advantage on a 3 unit let's say worth 600,000 you are going to be 120k ahead than if you bought it through them. that's my analysis. if you are super lazy and too busy to make money and have millions to throw around then I'd recommend not thinking much about investing. but you can also invest in funds and be way omre passive than buying a new build from far away. but if you want to add real value then get involved and make it happen. getting wealthy isn't easy. you work hard for your money and there are build to rent developers like us that try to answer and add value to start buiding relationshipsl

You cannot cherry pick a lender its not that easy you have to be more involved as a Banker or Loan officer.If you are not a lender my first thought was how welll versed are your point of contacts to assist a borrower unless its done through your software.
