The top realtor will do all the above and understand their client's skill level and financial situation and break down deals that best fit their client's needs.  

Here's some context:I'm looking at a property that I would put some work into and attract high quality tenants (such as a small family) on the two upper levels while I live in the basement that has a separate walkout.  

There are legal reasons to form an LLC, and then there are tax reasons.A single-member LLC is by default taxed as a "disregarded entity" at the federal level. 

@Rory Samuels the best way is to get the house at a level where you can pull money out.

The biggest flaw is there is a steep learning curve and a lot of the functionality is built for communicating with clients (homeowners), which isn't really applicable for flipping houses.FlipperForce/RealeFlow/FreedomSoft/Fixters - These are real estate specific softwares with varying levels of project management features & functionalityMicrosoft Office / G-Suite

@Dan StrandbergUnless the process is different there, the inspection should include identifying the type of septic tank and drain field/system; evacuation; checking for cracks/roots/deterioration; type of material tank is made of; if it’s level; size of the tank- is it large enough for the number of bedrooms; whether it closes properly; whether water run through it drains properly; that the ‘hatch’ closes properly; setbacks from the home/boundary etc; and whether both septic and drainage meet any existing regulations.Hope this helps!

If I were you, I would look for a fixer upper single family home.

These can be the one's where no matter what - we end up not being happy with the rehab and the quality level.  

OP: You really need to just have someone else do your taxes based on your level of understanding.
