Hi @Philip Feinstein,You can definitely find some great accountants/CPAs in this forum.

But ultimately if you buy a 7% mortgage, you’ll almost definitely want to be refinancing it when the rates get back into the fours and fives.   

I’ll definitely research for more PMs but last time I did there were only two within range.

Definitely less investment.

In many cases, but definitely not all, students partner with Cody's development company to handle the entitlements and the exits to homebuilders for a profit share which can be mid-six figures for simply bird dirt-dogging the deal.  

There are definitely many motivated and knowledgeable folks here. 

I am not considered a "real estate professional" by the IRS definition.

Just be aware of the risk that the seller might not pay back the loan, and there's some legal stuff to handle.Then, there's the "master lease options."

Definitely don’t do that.

It adds a whole extra level of complexity and cost (especially since legal entities aren't eligible for conforming loans such as FHA).
