These are all large organizations with endless personal who would have no idea of what I would be asking for unless I reached the right person.

I have been frustrated since we always have acquisitions, full scale value add renovations and day to day management my current awesome hard working employees simply do not have time to work on business development, cold calling, networking etc.  

So far we have acquired 7 single family homes and a 6 plex but we are quickly realizing that if we are to scale to where I can eventually replace my income, we need to do this on a much larger scale.  

I have a background in construction, I'm not a GC but I work for a large commercial GC at my day job and feel that this may give me potential leg up in this niche/ stratgey.The half-baked idea I have now is to build a container house duplex and live in it and rent out the other half.

They often ask for large amounts of redundant documentation.  

@Jean Marx, I know folks who invest there and I have looked there but again it seems that there is no cash flow unless you put a large down payment.

The main goal of the tax was to prevent people from buying large lots of land, subdividing, and selling.And yes, it doesn't apply if it's your primary home, expires after 7 years, and is pro-rated less and less throughout those seven years.Hope that helps,- Tom

(nothing against a nooner, but don't want to deal with cleaning that up)Presumably this is something one would want to do in conjunction with nightly rentals, as the nightly rentals obviously command a much higher rate, but trying to coordinate cleanings and check-ins/outs on that scale is way too much hassle IMO.  

My grandmother owned a large corner lot with no house on it. 

So with seller financing, I suppose I could avoid any money down and save it for repairs, or if I say put 50k down, can I avoid some tax to make it more attractive to me and the seller by offering a large cash lump sum?
