I found some local people here through biggerpockets, then we also have a website and blog, I heard one lady gained several properties through social media marketing, and calling listings for rent by owner to see if they would be interested in switching to STR (hopefully I didn't just open a can of worms).

Seller financing and ITIN lending seems to be the norm in this area due to buyers in lacking the ability to use traditional financing (usually because they don’t have social numbers).My question does anyone have any guidance around structuring a seller financing deal for a home that was recently rehabbed using a hard money lender? 

Make sure he takes pictures of it and also take some other pictures so you can have the current status.

Also, does the small amount not paid into self employment tax have any real effect on social security payments?

Despite being aware of the initial no-repair status, I opted for a home inspection, which yielded pleasantly surprising results with minimal concerns, primarily cosmetic.

We pot on about 30 websites, our website, the MLS, social media, and put in a yard sign.

I purchased a home about 5 years ago for $365,000 and today the home is worth $650,000. I'm buying another home and renting out this one. Will my depreciation be based on the purchase price or what it is worth now?

They're passive losses but I'm tracking my hours to see if I qualify for Real Estate Professional Status. 

Careful in IB.....I used to have a business there and learned about good ole IB. it keeps creeping up the social ladder, but IB will always be IB. 

WONDERING also if you do these kinds of things with Back Taxes- we ( my husbands BIZ and I ) are working on consolidating his business loan (bout 20k) from the pandemic days and then this back tax of 28k from his previous divorce days-  both very high in interest- and before we paid our work van off a consolidation program I reached out to was like - uh we can't help you-  anyways Im sure you can find my contact info via BP- my membership will close here soon as I will be back when we're closer to buying our first home- I am focused on building my business and such- Jesi Naomi on Social media - would love to talk- I love this membership - I just need to cut down on costs I haven't been using while getting our finances in order.
