They may advise, they may not initiate without authorisation of their client.

And if I can, could I potentially get my money back that I used to buy the property AND THEN SOME assuming I can generate enough forced appreciation with renovations?

My wife and I are in our 30's so hopefully we're a little more financially intelligent than our 20 year old selves.It seems as though that initial house hack was what set you on a successful path.

They buy properties that don't generate income but bank on appreciation to pay it back. 

How can I use the profits generated by my retail to buy property using the sCorp while using my pre tax dollars?

To start, the numbers:3 bedroom, 1.5 bath 1700 sq foot brick SFH with bonus room.Purchase Price: $59kAppraisal: $105k as is with estimated $124k after rehab.Renovation budget: $20k.Renovations include: new flooring in bonus room, kitchen and baths. total renovation of bathrooms, new cabinets, crown molding (to cover bad drywall job by previous owner), buff hard woods, paint exterior, paint interior, remove awning, remove side door and seal up, fix low spot in kitchen floor, and remove the non-permitted fire place.Estimated Rent: Initially I budgeted $950 per month based on another rental I own in a similar location, but  two houses on the same block were recently rented for $1200+.

For the long-term generational investors who also subscribe to the global warming and shortage of fresh water predictions, WI will become the prime real estate on the planet in that scenario - lol.

Based on my initial research, the property will rent for $1450, but at this point I have decided to put the money into it and list it on the MLS.

So they share 15k a year 3 ways and their initial investment is back in their pocket.

Find a home on the market that matches those stats,Find approx. rent.Dive deeper if you like the results, but be aware that your initial calculations could be incredibly inaccurate.
