Also very interested in this topic, currently using about a million spreadsheets to track renovations and it's all starting to blur together.

Can someone point me on where to start?

The concern he had and to be fair he said he needed to research it (i am just doing some of my own) was that since most of the work and hours will be conducted in LLC now and the LLC does not own the property would that create any issues with my ability to file a schedule C and claim depreciation and losses, etc?  

Once he has some experience, your friend could start a fund and take on investors.

I'm very excited to get started with building my investment profile. 

I feel I need to protect myself and get the property to be owned by an LLC...But I need STEP BY STEP instructions including how to start the LLC. 

I'm starting a  househacking journey and my mom will be financing the home.  

But that could take decades and not really what it sounds like you’re interested in.Foley is starting to grow quickly right now.

The presence of the wiring was noted a week or so after we were in contract, but I also assumed from the start that it may come up on inspection due to the age of the property, and its location.

Mid last year I came across biggerpockets, have been learning about REI and am thinking house hacking maybe the place to start for me.
