For residential properties you have the secondary (fannie, freddie, FHA, VA, USDA or variations that can be held or sold) these lenders may have portfolio loans, underwriting for those will be very similar to the secondary guidelines.

A little more complicated than I have dealt with, but if the asset qualifies as a capital asset it would depend on length of time held as to Short term or Long term rates.

For this reason I have an LLP in Ohio for properties held there, and a few in Arizona for properties held there. 2/3) I transferred a property from an LLC to an LLP when I learned that holding a property in an LLC may be problematic for residents of Canada (double taxation risk).

This is key if you have another job because time is money.Best of luck in your endeavor and if your husband has his license, I'd recommend not getting a license. 1) You don't have to deal with all the rules and regulations that your husband might be held to. 2) you have access to the MLS through him.

I can do 10% in a better location, vs. 16% in a worse one.On the cap rates: I have not held anything personally over 5 years.
