Quote from @Richard Ferraro: Quote from @Benjamin Aaker: If you are working with a Realtor (TM), they will have to follow the NAR rule to sign an agency agreement with a buyer before showing houses.

Also, don't forget the cardinal rule is sales: every "no" brings you closer to a "yes".

That's why I am here. first thing I learned in RE is I for sure dont know everything and very few folks do.. we are all learning even at 50 years of doing deals I learn new things every week.. thats why I am on BP you have also 50 states rules and laws are not nationwide so I like to know how each state works when it comes to transactional real estate and development.

We still find deals here that meet the 1% rule, positive cash flowing, and have tons of potential for appreciation.

Warning: Schedules C claiming expenses without any income are not against the rules, but they are IRS audit flags. 

@Michael Palmer As a general rule of thumb bank originated construction debt will be WSJ Prime +1 point with a floor, 1 point origination and 75-80% LTC while meeting certain LTV thresholds (normally 70-75%).

You cannot get any meaningful answers until you specify what is your "side gig", how much money it's going to bring and how much expenses it's going to incur, and what kind of expenses.And, as a rule of thumb, unless you clear $50k after all expenses, you probably will not benefit from any entities tax-wise. 

General rule of thumb that I have noticed about Equity vs.

They have rules and best practices about how we put these deals together which has collectively saved us from much of the pain being experienced right now in the multifamily space. 

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Read the RULES!
