Under a qualified employer plan like a 401(k), UDFI does not apply to leveraged real estate income.

LVP... like HD's Allure line.

You can find various products that lend themselves to qualifying self-employed homeowners.

I stay away from areas that have excessive violent crime, and areas that aren't close to freeways or employment centers.  

Hello Colorado BP Members,I'm nearing the end of the my studies for a Colorado Broker license, and I'm looking for a low cost brokerage to hang my license at to meet the 2 year requirement. I have no interest at this ...

I think it requires certain level communication skills and rationale (which I dont have).My tenants now are self-employed gardener, and the other is a Doctorate student.

The plan is buy and hold and to re-invest all earnings to buy bigger and more properties. 1031 and cash out refi are two strategies I plan to employ, but I'm not sure how using an SDIRA would change that... if at all.

The problem is that I have been self employed for 1 1/2 years and wont qualify for a bank loan.

if they don’t make much money and are on  Section 8, they are not collectible.If a tenant has been employed for more than a year, they most likely won’t leave their jobs, and their credit may be okay.  

After cash out, money goes back to HELOC.I am self-employed.
