Hi Al, It depends on where your stance on having a legal separation between personal and business lies, and your future goals. 

The initial business plan was to renovate and turn units to get them to market rents on a 2 year hold with a refi EOY 2.

In January my wife and I purchased 130 acres of land, for 480,000$. we are going to sell two 10 acre building lots,  probably for somewhere between 100-150,000 each. we will keep the other 110 acres.  2 acres we will subdivide out for ourselves to build a house on,  and the rest will be rolled into a Christmas tree business. on the acreage that we sell,  will we be hit with capital gains since we're still going to be approximately 200,000 in the negative? 

I do have the business start up expenses, plus the leases are under the LLC. 

I’m new to the rental side of the RE business & searching for a multi-family, single story 4-plex primary residence in the Texas-San Antonio, Houston, Dallas markets.

I've never filed a tax return because there's never been any business conducted under that name.

I’m really miserable at my job and I’ve been wanting to start a business in wholesale real estate.

Discuss with your preferred agent how you would like to do business and compensate them accordingly.

You will make some great connections there and may be able to find a job or business partner.
