Not sure which way to turn.Thanks,David I believe banks prefer a W2 over a 1099 as it is typically more consistent income where you have an annual salary or paid rate of hours that is more consistent.

You may not need these, but it's a good practice anyway.

It isn't a big job but I don't want things to go south so I stay in it.Of course I practically live on this forum so I pass along any pertinent info I find as well as answer questions.

It is zoned single family but since the previous owner is using it as a rooming house a few things look different that I am worried about the appraiser not passing:Outside doors for each room with locks.The only common area is the kitchen, no dining room, living room, etc.The rooms consist of 5 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, and 2 bathrooms.Each room has a bed and a small drawer which I am thinking of diassembling before the appraiser comes.Would I have a problem with this?

Negotiating is a skill that needs to be practiced and consistently role played to get right.

Investors who get in now can take advantage of this long-term growth while enjoying consistent returns.Bottom line—if you’ve been thinking about investing in real estate, now is the time to make a move.

The bottom line is this: Concealment is not asset protection, proper (time consuming and expensive, I know) management, and good, prudent, practices (ditto), WHICH ARE ADHERED TO, and insurance (expensive), are needed for asset protection.

Another common practice for nationally sparse datasets such as tax data is aggregation.

You want the “how” to be complete, reasonable, consistent, and flexible.

If so do you have any suggestions or tips for best practices to do this?
