Quote from @Raghavendra Jakkani: The tenant should provide proof of income that doesn't require detective work.

Penalties of these Federal charges may include:30 years in prisonUp to $1 million in finesIt's a Federal crime.I'm not currently at foreclosure, but am recently out of state starting grad school, no income, and home needs repairs that I simply do not have the money to make.

Quote from @Michell Chase Chase: I registered my LLC in Wyoming and was not told anything to that nature..but my investment property is in NY so I also have to register my WY LLC as a foreign entity LLC in NY as I will be generating income in that state...

Property TypeUnderstand the different types of multifamily properties:High-Rise: 9+ floors with an elevator, often urban.Mid-Rise: Smaller than high-rise, usually with elevators.Garden-Style: Low-rise apartments in suburban or rural settings.Walk-Up: 4–6 stories without elevators.Manufactured Housing Communities: Mobile home parks where land is leased to homeowners.Special-Purpose Housing:Student Housing: Designed for college students.Senior Housing: Dedicated to older adults.Subsidized Housing: Affordable housing supported by rent and income restrictions.3.

I have referred a loan out of state based on NOI, cap rate at purchase, room for increase income and purchase price vs market value.Maybe I didn’t articulate the intent of the post as clearly as I hopedFor anyone who has bought multi family out of state, “what are gives you the warm and fuzzies about a deal”:Obviously not cap rate, but maybe vacancy rate,  Cash on Cash ,GRM, IRR, Unlevered free cash flow, Cities over 250k?

Id be happy to break-even with the rental income if I get all of my invested capital back.

I sell insurance and prepare income tax returns but I am not an attorney and don't play one on television or radio.The Illinois Legislature has a law either pending or just passed that will GUT LLC protection.

I mean, in terms of real estate, how bad are NINJA loans (No Income, No Job, No Asset)? 

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

@Jason Dubon I use a percentage of the rental income to prepare for expenses.
