Are they trying to derive income from the bank statements because there isn't enough on tax returns?

And Federal insurance as well as economies of scale and reinsurance and even the dreaded credit default swaps and derivatives of the last debacle are an example of institutional risk mitigation.When you go privately you don't have access to this mitigation so your risk goes up exponentially. 

But there can be significant benefit to the income you derive from the property.My W2 salaries and resulting taxes do not benefit from my rentals.

Instead of blindly placing an offer on a property, assess your risk more accurately by creating a simple 3D model of the house that you can use to derive repair costs.What you'll need:SketchUp Make or SketchUp Pro - You can download SketchUp Make 2017 for free at sketchup.com/download/all.

Not sure how you derived a future value of $1.35 m.The value after property improvements is going to be a function of the increased rents, if I am not mistaken (and I could be).  

NO one can make false claims to derive unconscionable profits. 

In the case of an IRA the percentage of the gains derived from the non-IRA (borrowed) money are considered UDFI and subject to some taxation. 

A tenant may fight an eviction and not be required to deposit the rent in an escrow account seems a bit crazy.I'm also wondering if not discriminating based on a tenant's income derived from government benefits means landlords would be required to accept Section 8 and other subsidized tenants? 

There are people who think they make great suggestions just because it is how they derive value out of life and what they deem the optimal way to live it.

I currently work full time as a Derivative Operations Specialist at BNY Mellon, but want to eventually become a full time REI.
