- general trading principles- what will the business actually be doingWho puts what in?

You will need to somehow build an incoming property stream.In addition, there is a shortage of many skilled trades.  

I’ll trade my “no move out in winter” verbiage

Total build was about 8 months because I self performed a few (too many) trades.

I will work with landlords and house hackers, however, since most properties I find that dont work for my investment business can work great for them.Also, I now have many more tools in my toolbelt that other agents dont have, I have a crew that can do work, know a ton of contractors/trades and can get materials for pretty cheap.  

What was the outcome?

There's a trade off with the retirement accounts, you're losing some control and investment flexibility but you're saving taxes. 

My suggestion would be to hold if it’s performing unless there was an opportunity to trade up to a significantly better quality asset, like a B+/A location (GV, Summerlin)

Private moneyWhat was the outcome?

It seems that I could make a demand for compensation, like $50/day, by seller could decline and we could litigate it with no certainty of the outcome.
