Most times they get sold to large national banks, who have better things to do than audit one little loan.

Take a little while and read over the short term rental forums here, and you'll see lots of tips about software, good cleaners, and handymen. 

My question is:a) Can I lump them into 1 income in Schedule C (even though in my books it will be separate for Audit purposesb) There are 3 properties I am not 100% owner but 50% owner, can I also lump those into Schedule C or would I have to do Schedule E for those?

Can anyone recommend simple (and affordable) software platforms that work well with flipping and BRRRR style investments?

What's working for you is the extraordinary appreciation even befe construction is complete and the fact that you are now uncomfortable with holding such an asset for investment use.So in your case it's going to come down to what you and your accountant believe you can demonstrate as a legitimate intent.  1031s are not an audit trigger but my rule is never do something just because you can get away with it. 

I have been driving for dollars with some leads success coming in, but would like to know if anyone ever used Batch Leads or similar software with success.I tried some other ones, but i believe Batch Leads comes with Txting people, trying to reach out more people and off market properties for BRRR/ Buy and Hold.Thank you all

Hey Trevor, With 10-15 units you may want to look into a property management software.
