I've looked through the capital gains threads in this forum (thanks @J Scott, Brandon Hall and others), and am still not sure of the answer to my particular concern.

Looking forward to gaining as much knowledge as possible to move forward in acquiring buy and hold properties to gain financial freedom.

Can the entity gain credit independently? 

Hi @Samantha Neuwirth,Typically, if you're planning on buying a duplex/triplex (and living on site) it makes no sense to hire a management company.

Also when I'm listing a property in typically will not sell to someone using a rehab loan unless they are willing to pay signigantly more than the other offers.

I usually google average mortgage APR and put that number in there any investor worth his salt will know his typical Percentage from the lender he is working with and will factor that in when he sees your report.

Our goals are to help other investors with buying and selling properties where an agent is needed, and also to gain better control of our financial future through investing.

Rental houses typically do not pay for themselves with rent.

Keep in mind you'll have to live there 2 years to avoid being hit with capital gains taxes.Good Luck!

This is somewhat the area that I see container homes typically falling into.
