Once I told them my company was designated as an S Corp the representative told me I should have setup an LLC for what I am trying to do.

Policies that are designed for leverage have the commissions and insurance costs minimized.

Designing is actually one of my favorite things.

First off designing a bathroom is the hardest.

Looks like they are really designed as a retirement savings like a 401k.  

However, on the exterior, I have privacy fenced back yards with designed landscaping, which might get damaged by dogs. 

I'm also curious to hear about what each of your thoughts and preferences are when it comes to hiring architects or designers for your SFH rehab projects, or do you just settle with your own ideas and a use general contractor only? 

I did go with the upgraded model for my home compared to my rentals which is essentially an aesthetic upgrade. 

The developer is providing capital, reviewing deals and are overseeing design and construction as the owner.

To make matters worse, the assessment was so high because the condo association president was inept and allowed the contractor to do the design work for the repairs and didn't get any other bids.
