Hello @Greg Mayer,I am an active agent/investor in the Atlanta area. 

I look forward to being an active member here on BP and meeting some awesome people, growing my education, and building the foundation of a successful, self-sustaining, difference making real estate career.

We normally get it as a credit, unless it’s held by a 3rd party(pm).You can consult the lease agreement for each tenant, if the LL says someone only paid some or non, you need to get estoppel forms signed by both the LL and tenant, or just risk owning the tenant money they never really paid the LL.

I would have a property manager as I know I'm not allowed to actively manage real estate in a self-directed IRA.

I'm looking to replace my income as well, but do some active investments (i.e. flipping) with some lending on the side.9 units in Seattle is no small task with how much things cost here. 

The money is made when you buy, getting in the deal at the right price and managing well along the way.If you want to be actively involved then start analyzing a few deals in your area using the bigger pockets rental analyzer. 

With a normal transaction everything is at arms length and both parties can do whatever they want to press their own viewpoint. 

If its a normal expense that you would or could have in any year, then we cant add it back as income and those will affect your DTI.
