My initial thoughts would be to secure a construction loan for the total rehab amount based on the entire property's ARV.

Prices are generally cheaper, there are no caps on rent increases and there are no property transfer taxes.

Looking to partner with with more experienced investors or surround ourselves with folks with the necessary experience and/or skill sets to find deals secure necessary funding as needed to close. 

Some just make perpetual threatening phone calls.Some start court actions, so they get a money judgment which they can use to at least garnish state income taxes (you can't garnish federal returns).Property owners need to start asking PMCs HOW they will execute their services, so owner expectations can be better met:)

We have land (already paid off and just pay property taxes) but just haven't bought the home to place on our property. 

(STR)I'm researching the best and most straightforward ways to structure this arrangement from a business and tax perspective.

Also, secure your properties as much as possible or it may burn down at 4 am in the morning because of a homeless person (happened to me).

Taxes DO NOT reassess on the sale. 2.

Typically, getting into the 5-unit range can get overwhelming for people and take up too much of their time.A good real estate focused bookkeeper will save you a lot of time and headaches... especially during tax prep. 

Anyone with experience here with this and can jump on a call and talk about pitfalls and best approaches that work at securing a deal?
