Buy a commercial mixed-use property downtown on Main Street with room to put my business on one side.

Quote from @Cory Ray: Hey everyone,My business partner and I are officially starting up our wholesaling and fix and flip operation.

Look for a new attorney desperate for business.

But yes, you should have a CPA, and the one smart enough to properly prepare your taxes over the years should have an easy handle on this too.

I have already contacted two other contractors for quotes in order to obtain three total quotes.I understand that some investors like to also make use of lower-cost options, such as neighborhood kids, but as I am running a business, I would like to maintain a process that is repeatable and predictable and that may also adapt to long-term needs, such as landscaping and weed maintenance.

The #1 FUNDAMENTAL FLAW I see self-managing landlords and way-WAY too many PM's do is NEGLECT the entirety of the BUSINESS of things. 

You can use whatever business address you want. 

They are in the energy business and want to purchase the home because it is near their children and grandchildren.

Yep, they want affordable housing but don't want to make it easy to build or have incentives to do so (generally).

So the clients of the brokers that work that area tend to be small business owners.
