Help your clients write smart offers based on #4.

I was to start assembling a team together and am looking for any recommendations of contractors that will offer a little bit more hand-holding, as I am still fairly new to this process. 

Some lenders offer creative solutions, like a cross-collateralized loan, where they use your existing equity as security without refinancing the duplex.Another idea is partnering with private lenders or exploring a second-position mortgage, depending on your lender's terms.

Rentals generate passive income, so an S-Corp offers no added tax benefit.

This will give you clarity on the numbers and help you determine how to structure an offer that works for both sides.

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

Hi @Kyle McCorkelLooking at Palmyra currently, and actually just submitted an offer on a possible STR.

(Compared to the usual 30-40 year path.) do they think people with a million or millions in stock just got there?

Before diving in to offer advice, I'd like to clarify a few things with you, if I may....You mention that you are going to live in the property while you renovate. 

Key Details of the 45L Tax Credit:The credit offers up to $2,000 per eligible unit for builders and developers of residential homes that meet specific energy efficiency criteria.To qualify, the units need to meet or exceed certain energy performance levels in comparison to the national model energy code (e.g., the 2006 or 2009 IECC — International Energy Conservation Code).Cost Considerations for a 90-unit or 112-unit Project:The actual cost of qualifying for the 45L tax credit depends on various factors, including:Energy Efficiency Compliance: The primary cost will come from ensuring that each unit meets the required energy efficiency standards, which typically involve energy modeling, certification from third-party energy raters, and potentially upgrading insulation, HVAC systems, windows, and other components of the building to meet the necessary performance levels.Energy Modeling: Typically, you'll need to pay for an energy consultant or engineer to model the building's energy performance and ensure it qualifies for the credit.
