Reason I’m asking is because today reading through old posts on this subject, I came across discussions that stated if it was Credit Card, PayPal, or similar avenues, that 1099s aren’t needed since those companies issue them.

I personally read 2 books about wholesaling that cost me under $100, which gave me a solid foundation.

Your best bet is to read information from public blogs that approach both options objectively.

As Kevin points out, traveling nurses make good money, and their employer pays for their housing.

That slipped my mind when reading the details. 

From what I’ve read in the Wall Street Journal, locking in a low interest rate now could be a smart move given today’s economic trends.

Appreciate yall for taking the time to read really cannot "treat it" but best is to replace the 2x4's or lag bolt a new 2x4 to them.

I then look at area vacancies, economic conditions, employment opportunities, area demographics and verify that the property has not been red tagged or have any other underlying problems that might make it difficult to resell or rent.When I have my financial information then I can consider debt service and costs related to equity partners in the overall income produced.

If you invest into an area that has strong growth and good employment numbers it can overcome many other Cons.  

Arvand- Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my post.
