I just moved here from New York City, after sellingmy condo there, I've been watching Auction.comlistings and found one I really want, but amafraid that I won't be able to evict the tenant.I drove by the place and the lights were onalong with flower pots outside, so someoneis living there.

Once I make my next downpayment on another rental I will definitely begin building the pot back up with the cash flow from this home.

At the same time, be careful about chasing a bigger pot of gold and losing the one you already have.

I try to sweeten the pot by telling tenants if it looks nice I usually can schedule all my showings in 1-2 days and I will do a cash deposit refund at the walk through if they leave it clean and rent-ready like they received it.

It’s a lot of hands in the pot but TBH if I’m reading correctly, the occupant doesn’t have right to title and you may be negotiating with the wrong person.

But even still, I need to crap or get off the pot!

Those who use Schedule C or E to report their business line can be certain that the IRS and probably other authorities with audit powers use bench-marking to determine whether your line items are 'square'.Any non public traded entity owned by an individual or members, that would craft a cash flow from one owned entity to another owned entity would yield that cash flow as top line income.

I'm looking through the current multis listed and seeing which agents are active.Will start calling brokerages but like to research first as otherwise theres some pot luck of who picks up phone and where I get directed!

It would even be worth it for you to pay a small amount more to sweeten the pot if you need to to get the short term financing. 

You just need that starting pot of money to use for your initial down payment and closing costs.
