Hi there! I’m a contractor with a couple single family homes for rent. It’s getting very pricy in my area so I’ve also been looking into investing in mobile homes. There’s a lot of content on YouTube. Someone there advised to buy 1976 or higher. I think this was to ensure your buyer can qualify for a loan. Good luck!

Quote from @Ned Carey:

@Joel Montoya you have to include you true full financial picture. To mislead a lender by not truthfully and completely answering questions on the loan app is bank fraud.

Hi all, I have a question I can’t find an answer to.


Would it help me get pre approved for a new owner occupied mortgage if I omit rental property expenses in my tax return? ($13,000)


My family and I would like to move but with the high interest rates and home prices, I’m feel like I should maximize our chances of getting pre approved. 

I remember hearing somewhere that the IRS doesn’t care if people choose to pay more in taxes. They just don’t want people hiding income to lower their tax burden.

 I’m ok omitting the expenses and paying more in taxes if it increases my chances of getting pre approved. 

Thoughts on this would be appreciated!

Post: Checking/Savings Separate Accounts per property???

Quote from @Adrien C.:

I have a separate business checking and savings. Savings gets all security deposits. Checking gets rents and pays for junk. I use quickbooks to track each expense for each property. Makes doing taxes at the end of the year super easy.

Hello Adrien, did you decide to get an EIN to open the business account?
