@Ryan Espinosa Most CPAs are going to be busy next month or two with the tax season - this being one of the most challenging seasons - which is probably why you are having a bit of hard time.

These investors are asking me for a business plan that would include: returns, percentages, equity stakes and more.

I find that many people don’t want to rent for 7 nights (other town’s regulations) in the winter when they are traveling for a wedding, business, visiting family, etc., so it outperforms in the off season because of the lack of decent hotels in the area.

I have a business selling items on their and it can be a pain sometimes 

The technical requirement is that you have the intent to hold the property for rental, investment or use in a trade or business.

The negatives:Unfortunately, outside of Acquisitions and rehabs, the management, tenant placement, and collections side of the business is terrible.

I don't have a W2 and all I have is the first duplex income and some photography income from my photo business.

TaxesCash flow is controversial: your business needs cash flow to survive, but the source does not matter, could be your W2 if you have one.

You could do this for anyone in the real estate business.

Also bear in mind @Limor Hanannia that if the IRS thinks you're running a business within your SDIRA or Solo 401k you will be taxed on UBIT for that as well which scales up to 37% so it can be quite hefty.
