., would you consider the POF from these transactional funding companies to be fraudulent?

If you receive a $1,000 in rent you have a $1,000 in income (before you subtract expenses,) the irs doesn’t care if you deposit in in the checking account, gamble it away, lose it to a pick pocket, or literally light it on fire. the only advantage to putting the extra cash in a separate savings account would be to prevent stolen/fraudulent checks on a large account but I live with that risk and sleep just fine. 

There are many fraudulent transactions going on in this industry so be sure you know 100% for sure all is on the up and up.

Some suggestions. 1) Stay out of Baltimore City, it’s saturated with wholesalers and most of the “deals” are in combat zones. 2) Concentrate on the counties that surround Baltimore. 3) There is a lack of wholesalers in Harford, Cecil, and Carroll Counties, meaning almost none.

This is actually why Ford tried the cast aluminum truck beds, they were trying to combat the rot, but cast aluminum is just too breakable for a work truck. 

Anyone not engaging in blatantly fraudulent practices will be just fine, even if their customers/students do not achieve the desired outcomes.

I’m also a combat veteran (two tours Iraq 2004 and Afghanistan 2014) and currently serving, going on 17years.

If you are reading this, get out there and talk to your neighbors, go to some of the open houses, and help combat the fear mongering machine.

This type of tenant sounds unprepredictable and combative.

Failure to do so may result in filing of a fraudulent tax return.
