@Bill F.Honestly, that's kind of up in the air at the moment..

Would love some kind of an online portal for this sort of thing.Thanks!

Our professions are not related to real state or construction, and I never had to constitute any kind of company in the USA (did back in Spain, but laws have nothing similar).After much reading, the only two things I'm starting to get clear are: that buying and selling within a year has very different tax implications than living in your home for a few years then selling it, and that I should find at least a good CPA and possibly a good lawyer specialized in real state to figure out how to structure this to minimize taxes and liabilities.At the end of the day, my goal remains the same that I want to end up with a couple of investment properties, don't necessarily need to base my retirement on that, but just to not have all my eggs in the same basket.

One common strategy for reducing taxes is using an S Corp which can help reduce self-employment taxes.

Renting homes is a very management intensive way to operate that kind of park.

@Darren Bodle What kind of buyers are you looking for?

The biggest thing you want to ask thats not common knowledge is the utility setup and what the landlord pays for. 

What kind of Trust is this?

Most are kind of slow changing owner if recently foreclosed etc.

these are the kinds of newbie things i need to deduce...thanks!
