If that’s not how QuickBooks works and there’s an easy way to easily flip (pun intended) all these transactions from Inventory to COGS with the push of a button, please enlighten me.

I really appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me and others that may read this.

Partner with a family member already active in the mid-west area on a duplex or multi family (with likelihood of requiring financing).I should note that I am not entirely a RE novice as I have learned some lessons from an investment property I already own back in the UK with a large chunk of capital tied up (was intended to serve as a home rather than launching my RE gig; this was pre Rich Dad/ Richest Man in Babylon enlightenment...!)

Enlighten me please . . .

I’m curious to hear if people have done this in the past, how they did it, how they started, etc.Any thoughts / discussion / enlightenment on this is encouraged!

Please enlighten me?..

@Andrew Postell Thanks for this really enlightening post!

It would be one thing to advise someone on a topic and then it would be a completely different thing to give advice.......if you're going to chastise someone for asking a legitimate question at least run spell check before you give your enlightening response. 

Some of you might disagree, so let me enlighten you.2000 sq ft duplex vs a 2000 sq ft house.
