By leaving a small portion of the existing, when permits are pulled for the construction, it goes under a “rehab/addition” which saves time and fees.

My debt is under control and I have a savings account just for investments.

I don’t want to buy my first property only to find out some major expense pops up and I don’t have the savings to cover it.

How much would each member in the HOA save by eliminating the tax fees? 

The rest plus other unit rent will provide for vacancy, repairs, capex reserves plus cashflow.It is located in Riverdale, owned by a long-term landlord looking to retire.

He ate my retirement nest egg and sharted out a pot of gold, no more stopping bleeders in my slumlorded properties because I can't afford a vacancy, I'm all-passive, all-the-way, show-me-the-money now thanks to his magic touch with my lifelong savings.

Part of my offer to the seller is that I can save them the 6% listing fee they would pay that agent as I’m an agent myself.

He says if I have the same expenses in 2018 as I just reported for 2017, I'll save over 3k next year as an S Corp than as an individual.

If you don't want to go the partner or hard money lender route, your only bet is to put your own money and use the cash flow and your savings to purchase properties when you have the funds. 

If that house is costing me interest, taxes, utilities, HOA, etc then incentives could potentially save money.
