A slow steady build up of assets fits in well with my life and my goals.

These fees include things like cable, water , trash , pool, fitness center.

I have good income and excellent credit so I should qualify.

This is an excellent point Sarah, thanks for pointing this out. 

I know you mentioned finding recommendations for realtors and I would say search some local right here on BP and take them out for coffee to see if they are a right fit.

I am also pretty familiar with the S-Corp and work with other investors who are using them.Ultimately, I would say it's important to just meet with an attorney and a CPA so you can measure out the cost/benefit of each structure and pick the one that fits your portfolio and goals.

I don’t think the mortgage companies will have fit if we move out a month early.

What made you think they would be open to this idea and what they'd be a fit as buyers?

@Jason Payne agree with both Jacob and Jason, most of US books are excellent, especially for the systems, strategies and motivation they provide. 

Once you pick such strategy, concentrate on it only without any deviation to excel in it.Best of luck!
