If you pay $5,000 to your accountant who will save you $15,000 on taxes, it's a totally different picture, right? 

I'd also like to design a flyer the HR department could give to new hires who might be relocating from another state and another flyer for retiring employees.I have never worked for this size of company, so I don't know how they function.

In the past I owned my own construction company but now I have a full time position as well as this retirement plan. 

I'm not currently interested in making any direct income as of yet and any profits would be saved for future real estate endeavors and cushion for repairs/maintenance.

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.

(And saving up some money for his first investment property).

aim for ligther rehabs until you save more $$ :)

That's not strong enough, btw.Meanwhile,  put your money in high apy savings accounts (Google it).

@David De Luna Save yourself the heartache, just call a mortgage broker/lender.

If you don't enough budget for now, try saving them so that you can at least do 6 cycles in 2 months.
