A good broker or LO will answer all your concerns about qualifications, concerns, and cost 

On the tax side, I would encourage you to partner with a knowledgeable real estate CPA who can guide you through the transaction to ensure you can meet the qualifications of the STR loophole.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

What you can borrow depends on the strength of the deal and your qualifications as a buyer.

Your first due diligence exercise in notes is to find out the qualifications, experience, knowledge and financial stability of the note seller-dealer!

@Timothy BlackmanI'm in the process of getting a pre-qualification.

Meeting the requirements one year doesn’t guarantee qualification in future years, especially if your level of involvement changes. 

Our attorney is very clear about what we can and can not communicate related to criminal background and that is why self-managing can be a mine field when it comes to application qualification criteria.  

There won't be a test or screening to determine your qualifications.

Or is qualification your main preference 1-4 unit fha conventional loans will qualify off DEBT to INCOME or DTI while commercial portfolio loans will qualify off DSCR or debt coverage service ratio (this assume you’re not going to live there if you’re going to a credit union).So you asked a loaded questioned but I gave you some questions/answers to think about if you could provide more information perhaps more commentary can be added further.
