A developer would be a good person to talk to as well if you can find one.

@Aaron DuboisI don't know what your personal situation is, but can you house hack an STR with your own capital? 

Renting by room to the max occupancy to minimize the outflow of your personal cash into the property.3.

You can have everything you want to protect yourself in the lease but there will be a lawyer out there that will try and say that you are still responsible and not the person that died.

However, I need to find the easiest/fastest way to transfer them to the business so I can separate the investment properties from our personal finances and have the business separate. 

I buy materials from specific distributors, good product, warranty, net billing etc.I think using a reputable general contractor is best for most people, volume of flips is generally the focus (plus margins) Christian's comment said it best.

I’m looking for Net and occupancy for 2023.The unit I have a contract on was mostly used for personal use, I’m looking for rental numbers…. and sellers aren’t willing to give these up. 

So if it’s a $10 million deal and we are using 50% leverage then the capital raise is $5 million my partner and I will personally invest between us $500 - 750k into the deal under the exact same terms as the other investors.   

It's generally a good idea to keep rental income and expenses separate from your personal finances.

From CSLB:This section defines what an owner-builder is and the laws surrounding the practice.An owner-builder is what the term indicates: a person owns the property and acts as their own general contractor on the job, and either does the work themselves or has employees (or subcontractors) working on the project.The work site must be their principal place of residence that they have occupied for 12 months prior to completion of the work.The homeowner cannot construct and then sell more than two structures during any three-year period.Getting a GC license and going Legit is pretty difficult.
