First off, it is extremely difficult in today’s market to find any “deal” that matches up to his criteria, but in my mind I had actually found one.

I personally did a double major in accounting and finance and while I do not practice accounting as a CPA or bookkeeper or anything it has helped me tremendously to navigate real estate and understand the tax code or where to find answers to tax questions.  

I have literally had to beg inspector to come into the property before signing off on a permit.

I also know plenty of RE agents who continue to buy off market properties at a bargain and they have not experienced any legal issues. 3) Business structure - keep under my building LLC (taxed as S-corp) or start new, then transfer properties that I keep to my holdings company. 4) Overall concept feedback?

It's better to buy what we call "Ugly Inventory" to then close renovate and borrow off the new ARV.

When introducing acquisition services, mention your:- Systems for sharing on and off-market opportunities.- Team: Other agents/brokers, lenders, title, attorney, contractors, inspectors, etc.- Experience in specific areas and with different property types.- Process for analyzing/screening potential deals.- Anything else that is relevant to the individual.

I'm super happy starting off with single family medium or long term rental strategy, hold for as long as makes sense, and keep purchasing the same type. 

However, some buyers may be turned off to a partial replacement because of aesthetics or just bias.

(double the tax?!) 

Along with this, a great buyer's agent knows the market and knows how to write an offer.
