Be driven to focus your attention on deal making activities and ignore the rest.

Start by ignoring both the rental income and the rental mortgages.

Just wanted to post this quote from an article I read, although I think banks are still ignoring it (as common sense does dictate main goal should be to make sure you are making a good loan that won't default, not that you are not penalized for making a bad loan), regarding it not affecting their default numbers: Banks didn't want their Compare Ratios to rise.The FHA has acknowledged this issue and, similar to how HARP II waives reps and warrants on HARP refinances, the FHA will now exclude FHA Streamline Refinances from its Compare Ratio calculation.

Call me cynical, but I see them prosecuting a bunch of financial lightweights & ignoring the big fish who really did the damage.That said, I was happy to see a $500k IRS Lein filed against the original purchaser of my house - at least he's out of commission for a few years!

This makes the income and other metrics look more like a solid investment, however this ignores the debt service costs on the refinance payment. 3) Assess both properties as one.

I have little tolerance for professionals that ignore their Fiduciary duty.

Lov see'n you fired up Karen.....LOL, so, when Romney says something we should ignore what he says and know what he means?

(they are pretty young and I wanted to be able to kick them if they caused problems) They were there for a little over a year. also, I live in Buffalo in case anyone is out my way :) of course, they want to use their deposit as last months rent(which I told him that is not how it works) obviously he is going to ignore my demands for rent.

Ignoring everything else, if your property is a 2/1.5, you cannot use 3/2 or even 2/2 comps to determine a value.

A lot of LL's ignore captial improvements & maintenance.
