My big why is to leave either real estate properties or money for my 3 kids as an inheritance.

I am also curious about tax liens. 

As a balance sheet/hard money/private money/portfolio lender  (I list them all because they are all the same thing) I do not want to be pitched in anyway.

They make LOTS of money for the company because they pay out much less than you pay them!

Additionally, should I consider tax implications, given New York’s reputation for high taxes?

For one property, a spread sheet to track income and expenses would suffice to hold all info for your tax professional at the end of the year. 

My family and I are looking to move between January- April of 2025 and we bought our current house pre 2020 so we have a large chunk of money in equity, we really have 3 options on our plate.

Hello all,Business is going well, and most of you know me as an investor focused Realtor in Omaha and in the next couple months I have the amazing opportunity to scale that business exponentially as the Acquisitions Director for an amazing Real Estate Company (more info to publish later) but I am actually seeking recommendations for a good real estate tax professional who serves the Omaha area.Basically I am already formed as S Corp but I am forming an LLC (potentially under my S Corp) with myself and the contractors I work hand in hand with to renovate properties with the intent of serving under one "legal" roof when we assist investors in finding and renovating properties for investors and want to make sure we set ourselves up as strong as possible.Any recommendations?

The short-term view is you lose money. 

Run the numbers.  4 SFH will cost you more to purchase than 2 duplexes, but will also get you more money generally speaking.
