Agent gets paid for doing their job.

If the only difference between a co-signer and an applicant is a second job or some other insignificant factor, they are NOT co-signer material.

When someone can’t pay their home mortgage payments it is not likely fraud, just a job loss or business loses.  

I've found that cost segregation companies don't always do a great job and will miss  things even though it is something they specialize in. 

I wanted it to be passive since I have a full time job in tech and cannot do what "boots on the ground can".3.

HI Aubrey, Great job posting here as I think there is a lot of great advice you can get.

Maybe you can help the investors you meet with all the miscellaneous tasks involved with investing like picking up rent checks, turning over properties for new tenants, or even just driving by occasionally to make sure their properties are in good condition.I'd also recommend spending a lot of time looking at all the homes you're targeting in your area, both online and in person.

I can see how there would be confusion on the Architect's part if their job was to draft plans for the city and then the city has approved the plans as is.

It's important to understand the difference, and I'd recommend sticking with the REIT with depreciation advantages.The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) includes a 199A deduction and applies to certain income from pass-through entities (including REIT dividends) and allows individuals to take the 20% deduction against REIT dividend distributions that yields an effective tax rate of 29.6% or 37% (80% for upper bracket filers).

My other thought was to find a flip job for faster cash.Is there other ventures or financing ideas I should be considering?
