I was offered a minimal amount to record the deed and concurrently record a deed to another party.

Should I go back to Company A so that I have more cashflow each month (worried about closing being delayed if I switch) or stick with Company B?

I really don't want someone to prepare my taxes, it's fairly easy and automated, what I want is someone who can advise on strategy for minimizing my tax liability.

And was thinking if I just keep a minimal investment of time/money in the smoker house now and do the big rehab down the road for bigger cash flow of Also the lot is zoned commercial so there is the chance of a complete tear down and a new 3-plex construction.  

In the past year I've seen investors literally buy properties and just hold them for a month or two and turn around and sell them or do a very minimal remodel and make money.

Total construction time: 18 months (many Covid delays) and cost: $775k (many Covid cost increases).

@Patrick Cianchetta hard to analyze with minimal information.

But I have thrown one in when trying to lease in the winter, for example, to try to minimize vacancy.

You will normally pay a minimal amount like $50 or $100 to process the loan.2) The interest rate is low and you are paying it to your own retirement account.3) It can allow you to get into real estate investment faster4) If you leave your employer or get fired, recent tax law changes have made it so that you have additional time to pay back the retirement fund.Just an FYI - I personally took a 401K loan to get my first investment 4 years ago.I eventually left the employer and decided to take the hit and pay the taxes on the 401k distribution.Best decision of my life.Best of luck!

A good agent, a good home inspector, and your own due diligence should guide you to minimize risk.
