Have you considered speaking with an attorney about it?

@Reid Knight Most "student armies" @Brian Burke is speaking about is where instructors will hold seminars or provide coaching to a group of lesser experienced investors (students) promising to help them with their first deal once the student finds it.

@Adam FrancoFlips are recorded at your regular income tax rate, subject to self-employment tax.You figure out your final cost basis (purchase, rehab, insurance, property taxes, financing, permit fees, commissions, utilities, etc.) and the difference between the sales price and the final cost basis is the profit made that will be taxed as ordinary income.You should speak with a CPA to help organize things and try to minimize the tax impact.

If your long game is to hold, then generally speaking, I feel like a good tenant is worth more than a half to full month's rent. 

And I don't know if it holds true in the specific deal but generally speaking, I would put doors on both sides of the building. 

@Kareem LyonsDon't overthink door knocking, if you knock on 100 doors.. you may speak to 20-30 home owners.

I cannot speak for every lender here but as long as you pay on time, the lender is going to be fine with it. 

I can provide pictures and speak on the phone to clarify the job.

Through my research and speaking with people I've been advised not to go too far west due to crime rates.

me personally I don't feel to much of a difference on building structure 1 roof x amount of walls just seems bigger space obviously 2 tenants on a duplex = more calls and issues via them as well as double the appliances to maintain  but also double the rent just wanted to pick a few brains and see what people that have walked the walk so to speak feel about it:) thanks in advance
