@Jason Rogers Bear in mind that an LLC doesn't do you any good if you don't treat it like its own business.

Opened up the floor plan by taking out several non load bearing walls.

Have plenty of parking & trash cans (in bear cans depending on the market) to avoid a mess or annoying neighbors 4.

After much due diligence and related research of the local county environmental regulations, I discovered that I would’ve had to remove/dispose of the underground storage tanks, perform soils testing, perform leakage cleanup, etc.It added an extra $30K to my costs and dropped my potential profit so much that it fell below my acceptance.

The loan is made to the company...but I think you have the idea.If I loan money to the company, it has no bearing on any profit of loss, I still am owed the P&I.

The bag of soil for sale at the garden center is personal property. 

-Currently get all my deals through MLS and wholesalers -Some of my projects are heavy rehabs (adding bathrooms, removing load-bearing walls, etc), others are more cosmetic.

I just posted a question about STR and this definitely adds value to what my wife and I want to do in Big Bear, CA.

I am a new landlord so please bear with me. 

Not only due to poor Independent School District and some pockets of crime, but also because there is a lot of clay soil over on that side of town, causing a lot of foundation shift, especially in the older homes.
