New property initially used by a taxpayer for personal use and subsequently converted to business use meets the original-use requirement.

To have your vote/post ratio as someone who offers commercial enterprise speaks volumes to you.  

Reading your post and all the subsequent questions and answers was super insightful. 

@Jonathan Schneider @Kim Tucker I'm curious your thoughts on this: I feel like in order for an agent to earn worthwhile commissions as an "investor-friendly agent", the agent should probably enforce a minimum commission on all deals, with the investor responsible for meeting the portion of the commission above the 3% that the seller pays.That way the investor's priorities and agent's priorities are aligned.For example, if an agent enforces a minimum commission of $3500 (arbitrary number I picked), and the agent subsequently finds an amazing investment property for $50k, great!

It ended up working out well for us, but definitely sealed the deal in terms of securing insurance for our subsequent flips! 

@Sara Abernethy I've used Kigo - it's more for enterprise managers but something to look at and compare with other software.

@John Rutherford I don't think it would impact a subsequent loan.  

Further more, I'd like to take some of the wealth I'm building and invest it social enterprise here in the US and abroad.That's my two cents.

That will save you around $17k up front, but your subsequent cash flow would need to be adjusted downwards a bit. 

First, make a large amount of money in your new business enterprise.
