@Gerry Cohen, I cannot speak to Jake's program, per se.  

But many of our clients utilize our DSCR loans to purchase and re-finance long-term rentals (LTR) and we have to loan to an entity because it is a commercial loan per se, so that wouldn't be problem for us. 

They have a big presence in the SE.

So, refinances don't require "downpayments" per se.  

In a place like SE Michigan, we are lucky in that prices are low enough that you can find deals in solid neighborhoods that easily return well.

This scenario would require a zoning variance but plays out better in front of the ZBA as a pro se appeal well.

I was looking for something a bit different and I had always loved SE Asia ever since I was a young backpacker, so I decided to take the plunge and purchase my first 2 bed condo when I was 24.

Zane,First off if you plan on going SE Self-employed and starting your own company you are going to need to wait (2) years to get a conventional loan.

It doesn't have to be a CPA per se, but I'd argue that a lot of the potential behind real estate investing boils down to what taxes you pay, what taxes you don't pay, and when in your life you pay them.

You can add on a nationwide check but I do not believe this is a real check per se.
