Pass a written exam, be fingerprinted and photographed.

BP recently began offering a book written by a veteran RE investor - J.

He closed a few weeks later after my realtor set him up with a tax accountant.I'm guessing that's not news to veteran property investors but it was news to me anyway.

'Good' (aka 'veteran') wholesalers will be too hard to find in this market imo.

The case came up cause a photographer went to a front of a house that didnt have curtains nor blinds on the front picture window daily and continuously took pictures.

Like Jon and some other veteran BP members, I've always thought you need 12 months seasoning until our loan officer said she can do it in 6 months late last year.

Our tax burden is close to $50/$1000.So to get even we sold it to a Veteran who gets a significant tax break & if they are classified with a disability the tax break is higher again :)We are in the process of selling another we bought (to yet another Vet).

BP has great guides and resources for landlords, plus the veterans in the forums.

Actually, it was economically depressed going into it - and has been for the last 20 years according to the veteran locals.

Before you rent, photograph every surface in good lighting and high detail.
