Any all-in-one, step-by-step recommendations? 

It's not impossible, but I think you're already making a mistake by deciding you don't want to work with experts.

I looked at almost every market in florida before I relocated from columbus ohio because miami Dade County has the most net migrations in the entire United States for one county. we build it in columbus ohio and it is worth approx 215k a door but down here all you'd have to do is change the assemblies and in miami that triplex would be worth more than 300k per door so closer to 900k depending on where you built it. new construction single family homes are going for around 330 per sq ft in the same area and a triplex is considered residential. by building codes a 4 unit is commercial I'd recommend 3 unit first or going as many units as possible if you have backing or your own cash. for each one we do we recommend 100k of liquidity. 

@Sachin ReliaI know they just launched a new reit 2, in their last reit they have yet to submit their audited financials from 2022 (due by April 30th) or their semi annual report for 2023 (due by September 30th)They also have switched auditing firms in this new venture….I would ask them the status of the above.

It sounds like you're saying it could effectively be offset by that.**= Again, confirm with your CPA what your specific bill would be.But, for rough math / estimation's sake, it sounds like a "probably" - is that a fair takeaway?

However, since this would be an investment property (held for 1 year or less), ARS 32-1121(A)(6) requires all work be performed by licensed contractors if the cost of material and labor is $1,000 or more.

I hope to purchase my first investment property by the end of the year, initially in Northwest Indiana, likely Hobart.

Significance there is that Fannie and Freddie decided in March of 2022 that they were going to basically eliminate the 10% down option by adding high enough fees that lenders couldn't pass a fees test unless they were going to originate the loan at a loss. 

If you're looking for more sophistication like to move leads through stages, to have built in tools that help you communicate by text/email, bring in team members to own leads, etc.. then more of a CRM may be helpful for you there.

The details are controlled by Section 483 of the Internal Revenue Code.https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/483Some bloggers, YouTubers, gurus etc. mistakenly refer to two other sections of the tax code, so let me address this confusion.Section 7872, also described in IRS Publication 550 as "below-market loans."
