I am in the process of helping out a potential investor in the design and construction of a few multi-family residential projects in Kansas City.

Whether that matters to you or not is another issue.An S Corp is designed to minimize SE taxes based on "reasonable compensation", which will vary for each and every taxpayer. 

My husband and I brought in the contractor team, managed the project, made design decisions, sourced materials, created brand partnerships, etc...

@Joshua Stein I'm getting ready to buy my first house and am in a similar situation: I want to take in a roomie but am wondering about how to design the lease.

The 1031 is specifically designed to allow you to exchange properties anywhere in the US. 

They even let me design & install the entire fire sprinkler system along with the company installing the 24/7 1st responder alarm system.

I have personally designed, managed and implemented for 20+ Fortune 500 companies.That means I know how to gather business requirements, design solutions, implement according to budget/time AND manage the client through the journey.

So i'm looking to do my first BRRR and I have been looking to get financing to do this.. actually found a lender who has a loan program designed specifically for BRRR.

You may want to look for a financial planner who has their CFP designation.

@Cheryl Murdock the best way to find contractors is to talk to architects, designers, engineers, realtors and other investors.Also check MLS for flip properties and new construction specs for sale.Make sure to get 3 or more current project in process refinances, 3 or more current past clients, visit some job sites in progress to see how they look.
