@Nathan M kieferIf you are getting $400k in W-2 income, unlikely you will qualify as a real estate professional unless: (1) you have equity in the company and its in an industry that allows you to qualify as real estate professional; or (2) you have a spouse that qualifies.

Real Estate should not be depreciated.Depreciation is one of the most beloved tools in real estate investing, but let’s take a moment to challenge the norm: Should real estate even qualify for depreciation?

This modern home is part of Griffin Modern's mission to create affordable, high-quality residences within walking distance of downtown Griffin.

If the loan is maturing in the next few months, the owner has no way to refinance at the current high rate, since the cash flow will not qualify for the double high interest rate.

There were some years ago when buyers would just take over the lease and that is it, the value stayed the same and it was transferred in escrow to the new buyer if they qualified. 

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: I’d be looking to get into a DSCR loan.These loans are qualified by the properties income rather than your income, can close in an LLC, and also do not report on your credit report! 

At a high level, this is generally the path people take - we see a lot of people have success in this route - start building the portfolio with banks, low down payments, and then **generally** when you hit around 5 or so properties - it starts to make sense to switch over to LLCs, its too hard to qualify/deal with paperwork of banks and switch towards private lenders like DSCR Loans - (LLC friendly, easier) to scale past 5 or so.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

While you shouldn’t categorize all tenants and it’s the landlords responsibility to properly screen, the tenants who reside in better situated housing and pay higher rents are more financially responsible meaning lower rate of rent loss and will generally take better care of the property which combined will result in less time allocated towards management functions if self-performed or more favorable management fee structures if 3rd party management companies are utilized (which ties back to #1, as well).

@Josh LemonsThey have a regulation A offering which is open to accredited and non accredited investorsThe great thing is they have to submit their offering circular and have it qualified by SEC as well as submit financial information etc.All this means is the information is readily available and if you do not understand it then I recommend engaging an attorney who can interpret it.
