The existence of a dry cleaner business on the property will likely throw up a red flag. 

I'm a new investor living in Redding, California.

IMO that is a rule that worked a while ago during the crisis, but now I think it more or less is a red flag because it points you to war zones/Class D, or C- neighborhoods. 

As we started to look around for small multifamily units, it appears that the market is pretty red hot. 

@Tanya Knickerbocker  Always a red flag if they want upfront fees, especially wired. 

I put an offer on a property, inspector found 10 red items, one being a slant in the kitchen floor and cracked tile.

I know that banks want to see reported taxable income and I don’t want to cause any red flags or have IRS get involved.

While we are both in Central Florida currently, and looking to partner on our first deal, we both have roots up north.
