I want to start a real estate investing company for this organization that doesn't have the typical restrictions associated with 501(c) (3) designations that come with buying or receiving real estate. 

Whatever you say it is, because these alphabet designations are all made up.Please drop the alphabets of location (A, B, C) and for SFR properties it's confusing to new investors and is all arbitrarily made up by the users.  

If I get it sparkling clean quickly, attract a great pool, show it smoothly... 

The NEW lease-option design...As I understand it, one of the requirements of the new Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, birthed from the Dodd-Frank legislation, is that ANY lender in an installment sale has to verify that the borrower is capable of repaying the loan, just like a traditional mortgage lender must.

Based on this, it sounds as though this is an attraction option for my wife and I that have a part-time small business as well.

I walked into this house with around 25k in equity and its turnkey in a good neighborhood that will attract good renters.

I love the built environments, so my other idea was architecture, but I didn't want to spend long hours in the design studio.

Again the goal would be to provide them with an attractive package, while still allowing me to profit off the property and preserve as much of my capital as possible?

Since the margins are typically so tight on commodity lumber, the supplier either has to take the hit and match the market, or ride it out.4) If you're including trusses in this, those can vary dramatically - huge swings in price... in part because the design is subject to the individual designer as well as some supplier have in-house truss capability while others act as a middleman.  

If you like (love) a strategy, and your market isn't conducive to it, change the market where you invest to a market where your "favorite" strategy does work.This strategy works so well in my market, it almost seems as if it was designed around my market.
