I have just qualified as realtor and am planning to start generating income with that immediately.

It's not the 'perfect' house hack because the income generated from the rooms doesn't completely cover my mortgage.

My point is, depending on where you are at with your income, it sometimes makes sense to use an LLC treated as an S-Corp to minimize the NIIT tax because the income you are generating from your real estate is being reinvested. 

.:- seller lead generation- seller lead conversion- negotiating contract- contract to close (escrow period)- post closing (renovation, project management, etc)- selling the home (your agent will help with this)- miscellaneous (running numbers, estimating ARV, estimating rehab costs, etc)House-flipping is a full-time gig and if you aren't working on it full-time, you're paying someone to do it - contractor, property manager, project manager.That being said, local meetups and BiggerPockets are great places to get in contact with the right people. 

There is not really any assessment of the quality of work or customer service, nor is there a reason to use them based on fair and reasonable pricing.

Save the custom build until you're older and have lived in a few places.Look for a MFR (I think 3- or 4-unit properties are way better than duplexes), live there a few years, and then turn it into a pure investment property.

Well you need a source of deals, and a sheriff’s auction could work, I’ve seen a number of my customers be successful at that in NC.

So focus on Lead generation!

August generates a random 5 digit code for temporary guests, you can change if you want.

And that may be a big assumption depending on the type of work the S Corp does and where your customers/clients are located.
