My concern about option A is the cost but I'd still like additional perspectives.

Originally posted by Logan A. is very correct that an S corp would be preferable to an LLC for flipping.

Not attempt a 1031 exchange when their intent is to hold real estate productively simply because they are afraid their intent won't be believed.There is wisdom in many counselors and it is in working with your professional team that you will find wisdom to decide whether or not to use a 1031 on a sale.One powerful trend that @Zachary Curry is referencing though is the tool of the reverse exchange and the increasing willingness of lenders to make those kinds of bridge loans that allow investors to lock up their next project at today's prices while positioning their current property so it can enjoy longer gains and further establish intent as use of qualified property.  

First learn the many ways to control real estate, use some power prospecting techniques, find below market houses, control them with a skinny or hybrid contract offer subject to assignment.

What I learned after having every single power tool stolen from a flip property - the day after a very young team of males installed new HVAC supply lines in the subject property.

Just want to get the opinion of the BP Community.I am one who believes in the power of a business card.  

Power in the house has been disconnected for 4+ years and Georgia Power has removed the line going from the house to the street line.

Very possible just dropping the air ducts to the floor, blowing some insulation and putting in a power attic ventilator will get you another 10 degrees.  

I usually send the "Authorization to Release Information" form along with a power of attorney to the bank.
