I'm in the process of setting up an LLC and my wife will likely be setting up an entity for a non-REI business shortly.

While taxes are necessary to keep the country running, property taxes can differ from street to street, so make sure the taxes your tenant/buyer would be paying make sense for the services they would be using. 

If you are running to the hardware store on a very frequent basis, or using your vehicle to haul significant amounts of materials, the IRS could question your level of involvement and whether you are providing services to the IRA.

I recently moved to Arlington, VA after graduating university and starting a career in the financial services industry.  

I charge a non-refundable $600 up front fee plus $25/month per pet.  

NEVER pay a non-refundable feeRemember, most of these guys are unlicensed brokers skirting the laws.

I have proof they did not, both bills and a letter from the utility stating they never transferred service.

Then start doing flips, buying notes, tax liens, and more to help increase your capital while the rentals provide a foundation to rely on in case a fix and flip goes bad.By the way if you plan on managing the property yourself, try using a service like cozy.co or something similar.  

I am interested in the BRRR strategy and house flipping and would also love to offer any services that I could potentially provide to more experienced investors in hopes of learning the ropes and getting a few deals under my belt.

These are coming in the 6-9% interest range.Another possibility will be an Non QM alt doc loan, but you will still have to prove qualifying income.
