And if I can, could I potentially get my money back that I used to buy the property AND THEN SOME assuming I can generate enough forced appreciation with renovations?

The Barrie area has a reputation for bad tenants and as such I would advise you steer away from SFH investing.

Your attorney can advise you.

They buy properties that don't generate income but bank on appreciation to pay it back. 

How can I use the profits generated by my retail to buy property using the sCorp while using my pre tax dollars?

My humble "three-year experience" advise to you is really just get out there.

For the long-term generational investors who also subscribe to the global warming and shortage of fresh water predictions, WI will become the prime real estate on the planet in that scenario - lol.

I have 6.4 acres of land in Lonoke County that I want to sell. While at the courthouse they tell me that my uncles abbandoned house on my property has $6,399 in back taxes in his name. They say I can not sell my land ...

@Andrew MerewitzState of LLC FormationIt is normally advised to create the LLC in the state that you will be holding the real estate; Florida in this case.If you created the LLC in New York - you would be required to register the LLC in Florida; increasing your total costs.Please also be advised that it can be costly to form an LLC in New York.Location of CPAThe important aspect of looking for a CPA is that he/she understands the taxation of real estate.Technology(emails, phones, skype) allows you to communicate properly through an accountant eventhough he/she may not be in the same city as you.Florida does not have a state income tax.

Medical tenants generate a lot more cash.
