Wes, i couldnt agree with you more based on your last statement, great feedback that anyone in this business should hear.

It would be best for you to go over a suitable business structure and tax implications.

I am going to be the financing arm of a new build and sell business.

Lending tax-free or tax-deferred using a self-directed retirement plan is a great way to get into the business.

You are running a business.

I have been a member of mine for 10 years and am now on the board and it has proved invaluable in my business.

On a lease but I don't try to treat our relationship as pure business.

@Jendayi Brandon  I had a tenant who would consistently push things to the edge, I actually had to write in the lease rent was due by close of business on the 5th or he would be charged a late fee.

VA assistants has dramatically reduced our work in the business and provided 24/7 monitoring for a fraction of the cost of local property management. 

My business partner and I are working on gearing up now that the market is changing so if there's something we can team up with let me know.Good luck!
