These are NonQM loans that underwrite by using the gross cashflow (as evidenced by net deposits in your bank account or how much was reported on your 1099) and then applying an expense ratio (usually 30-70%) to determine your gross income.

If more than one person applies together, then we combine their scores for a group average.

Unlike the 750-hour rule, this applies to determining whether you materially participate in a particular property or activity to make it a non-passive income source.

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

Hey @Chi Lo - I actually have a video on my YouTube page about this (lookup ClosedByMo on YouTube).Regarding walls being damp and waterproofed, it means there needs to be waterproofing on the basement retainer walls (this is something you can do post-construction and the contractors would need to dig around the house exposing the basement/foundation to apply the waterproofing). 

The thread addresses a different topic, the Real Estate Professional status, but the same principle applies to the hours in both contexts.

Typically, the same applies to LLCs where you and your spouse are sole members (single or multiple member LLC).

The law also doesn’t apply for abandon properties.

@Martti Eckert here's the big issue that no one really talks about that you hopefully find helpful (this is copy & pasted):-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Supposedly the tenant hasn't paid and she filed for eviction but the judge required the property manager to apply for assistance on behalf of the tenants before proceeding with an eviction.
