@Justin Wotton  You need to figure out whether he will truly represent you and your interests or comes across as having commission breath - meaning that he's focusing on his interests above yours.You can determine that by the way he answers questions and if you're visiting a property, whether he is actively looking for defects to point out. 

We currently are just under 5,000 active listings on the MLS.

There are lots of active Charlotte area investors here. 

Hi,I'm a small landlord at the moment, but looking into investing with a place like Fundrise for some passive activities. 

I'm looking to update my list for active and trustworthy contractors in the Chicago / Oak Park area.

If this is the case generally you would report your flip activity on Schedule C of your 1040 and any net taxable income from the flips would be subject to self-employment taxes on Schedule SE.Encourage you to work with a tax CPA/EA this upcoming year if you aren't comfortable DIY.

There are significant tax differences between the taxation of a pass-through entity and a C-Corp/S-Corp.Accountants would need all the detail(nature of business activities, goals, exit opportunities, income levels, expected income levels, etc) before they can make a well informed decision on your entity structure.Working as an independent contractor does have it's downsides of which you are paid the full-lump sum for your work.

I've been active in both markets since 2010.

It's not investing, it's active income and it's hard work.

As far as I can tell, from calls to Campus Life to asking the local REIA, there's no Off-Campus Housing info site at this college, no active roommate or rental housing listing on Facebook or Instagram.Has anybody ever started a Facebook group specifically for local student rental listings?
