This is why seasoned investors run a "stress test" when evaluating their investments.

I use Wisconsin Legal Blank forms, they are inexpensive and court-tested.

@Brigham Pyron Is there another platform you have test and would recommend?

I've checked daily for the last year or two and its slim pickings over here!

Which means, if you’ve structured your taxes as losses for the last two years odds of qualifying are slim.

Apparently that doesn't disqualify you to be president though and unfortunately there is no IQ test to vote, maybe more people should get into politics.I was in Lowe's yesterday picking up a blind for a rental house I just finished and leased.  

Please post a copy of your due diligence checklist and your stress tests.  

Everyone knows who the new person is and the goal is always to mess with them and test them and try to get them to spend their money on the junk so we can get the good ones. 

If you can attend local investor meetups, that’s a great way to gain market insight and connect with reliable people.It’s also smart to start small with a couple of flips to test the waters, and make sure you understand the local market dynamics before scaling up.Good luck with your expansion! 

In the case of GEG, we let our members know we did not have a track record with them - they were new to us and just being tested - and therefore it was even more important to perform thorough due diligence since we can't be involved in the transaction.
