I'm interested to know if we should create an entity; and if so, what type would you recommend?  

Get in the network and the deals will come, but be patient it takes years to earn trust and create a network.

Has anyone ever gone the route of creating an LLC and trying to get funds through the SBA? 

Hi All,Since I posted this, we have created a full turnkey solution for foreign investors.

I have no one to blame but myself for not participating in financial decision making, carrying credit card balances, being ignorant of our retirement savings and mortgage details, having no personal plan for my own financial future, and never creating a budget.

The existing tenants have mentioned separately (this is an up/down duplex) of smell of mold.This is not difficult to believe if in fact there are these obvious cracks on the home exterior.There is no doubt water/moisture is getting into the home and creating a condition for mold to grow.We had a structural engineer out to do our buyer’s inspection yesterday, report is due out later this evening (11/04/17).Verbal communication while on site, indicated a mutually shared concern over these cracks.The roof appears fine.A wall in the backyard will need replacing as the soil weight has almost pushed this wall over and it is only a matter of time before this thing comes falling over.Boiler may need replaced, windows as there is some clear cold.These are just concerns at this time but inspection report will lay all this out once received later today.I should have been a little smarter in not agreeing to a change in inspection objection deadline when it was presented by seller.My buyer’s agent and I should really have talked this one over, as I realize now that, it left us with only hours after inspection to come up with our inspection objection response and to be honest I will not have time to get bids for any of the extensive repair items which I do not doubt will be confirmed in the report received later today.Seeking any advice that you can give on the following: Would you proceed with purchase of the above detailed home?

I suppose it may work if you have a burning desire to do it.my partner in my airplane is doing something similar in Oregon he started a tiny homes manufacturing company ( making his own) and he owns a nice chunk of properly zoned dirt in Oregon 10 acres .. its worth about 3 million as it sits.. but he is going to sell the tiny homes then do 50 year leases on the under lying dirt so in essence create his own park as it were.But he has the Dinero to follow his whims and social desires of creating affordable housing for the mass's. 

there is a program called ankidroid.it allows you to make flash card questions across mobile and desktop devices,go through all your chapter's and create the questions and answers then simply use the program

Be prepared for extra expenses on the interior part of the home because of the non conforming shape of the building that creates alot of customization for trim, drywall corners, cabinets, built in's, etc. 

@Russell Fugitt I don’t think that the Dodd-Frank act would apply much here unless you were creating a mortgage but I’m not an attorney so I’m not sure.
