I am getting 2.2% on a duplex in E.

TO START OFF WITH A FEW THINGS THAT COME TO MIND:I assume you are looking to get qualified for your new home purchase so all the things need for the first loan in Income, assets, 2 yrs of tax returns, Bank Statements, etc.For your first rental: copy of lease Schedule E for 2 years.  

In this case, proper financial preparation would mean being able to comfortably cover the downpayment(s), make both mortgage payments with existing stable cash flows - either from jobs, rents, or other investments, and having a nice cash cushion to cover the expenses. 

Brandon, if it were me I would keep the rentals separate from the other entities because rental income/expense is treated differently for tax purposes (schedule E).The other businesses are all "earned income" type of businesses so in theory for tax purposes could be combined, but I would keep construction as its own entity because it's really its own kind of business with its own kind of risks.I would probably put the property management under the real estate brokerage, both for the sake of simplicity and also the fact that if you want to manage properties for others (which might technically include you due to entity structure) you need a real estate license in RI anyway.

We have typical stock-based retirement accounts, but we're aiming to accelerate retirement by building a stable portfolio of buy and hold properties.

Do I continue to save and buy a building in a more stable city?

I simply find/or others find for me properties to buy for flipping, buy/holds and even other R/E vehicles to gain wealth.
