In 2017, we want to try to qualify my husband as a Real Estate Professional.

Qualified Landlord reason for termination.3.

Cons- depending on your personal financials, qualifying might be more challenging and the loan might not amortize over 30-years.Another alternative would be a business-purpose rehab loan (fix and flip/fix to rent).

mDo you have to accept the first applicant that qualifies?

Another property continually has squatters even with boards up and bars in front of the windows and doors.

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

Some of the simpler asset protection solutions would include the following:  having max funds allowed in qualified retirement plan or IRA rather than personal as retirement plans are exempt assets in Federal and most state bankruptcies; investing through an annuity if your state (Florida and Texas for example) exempts insurance policies and defines annuities as an insurance policy; taking advantage of maximum homestead exemption in your state; use of corporations or more popular LLC or Series LLC to limit liability to the entity holding the asset; reasonable liability insurance if available; separating asset ownership from asset management; etc.I can design a simple, cost effective asset protection strategy of up to about $5million with little cost IF the individual resides in Texas or Florida.  

If all you do is own rentals for example, likely not qualified with a Solo 401(k).

But still, within a few weeks you should have someone applying who is qualified from my experience - which is in Florida, not New York… but all things being equal demand works similarly.If marketed correctly now, it tends to point to price sensitivity (too expensive) relative to other similar offerings,  or some other detractor as to location or convenience.   

Generally most of us aren't going to go through the guilty party's profile and take down everything that qualifies because it takes a lot of time and effort, and most threads have an extremely short shelf life - no one is going to remember it or see it a couple of days from now.
