Some banks will agree to have the seller take the second position on the title and lend you the down payment or at least a portion of it, but I fought anyone would want to take something like that on for a single family home.  

I would push back on your employer and see if they might be willing to cover all or even a portion of your out of pocket expenses if the expenses help you create revenue for the company.Let them know under the TCJA, you've effectively taken a pay cut as your unreimbursed employee expenses are non-deductible for all tax years before 2026.Other than that and going out on your own as discussed above, there's not too much you can do. 

As the investment sponsor, our “manager” class of LLC units do not get any portion of the depreciation.

Am I good here then or should I remove that portion? 

Now I get someone that is just flipping houses to investors may or may not have buy and holds, but if two companies are equal and company A holds none of their own product and company B holds a portion of theirs, in inclined to go with Co.

Typically, though not always, the listing brokerage when they list the property on the MLS offers to pay a portion of their commission to a buyers brokerage for bringing a buyer. 

@Mark Fries which particular portion looks fake to you?

That said, if you built on it, that portion would then be assessed at a normal rate.  

I'm open to other ideas too.I'm currently looking to either flip or BRRRR and am currently in the learning how to analyze process since I've got the financing portion under control. 

- Is there ideas to structure the deal to avoid as much tax as possible on any portions of this scenario?
