Im looking for another flip or 2 to roll our profits into rentals. 

I recommend finding a RE savvy CPA who can educate you and give you forward looking strategies to help you maximize your profit and tax efficiency.  

Typing it out now and thinking more about it, it would make sense that a conventional lender would still have to either see a steady profit/income of the business to be able to do something like that or just run the credentials of the person who owns the small business to make sure they could lend to that person/business anyway so it would have to show a history of profits to be able to sustain the property during times of vacancy with a track record of on-time payments.

Landlords profits are lessened and so they do not take the same care of their units as they would if they were trying to maximize profits.

I started with a property management company that basically took all the profits and mismanaged the property.

Basically paying all of the cost of solar panels + a financing profit margin, and I believe the company that does the install gets the tax credit. 

I travel a majority of the year volunteering with a non-profit organization.

Hi Jacob,Prior to purchase:   ARV was $385; purchase at $225K; rehab was $35K; closing/maintenance $50K; Projected profit: $75KPost sale:   Sold at $340K; rehab $71K, closing cost $30K, maintenance/miscellaneous cost $20K<

If this is the case, wouldn't it be better to just partner with my parents so no deed transfers at all and we split the profit?

If one or more investors just pays money and expects to get a profit based on others' efforts, you have created a security and SEC laws apply.
