Maybe look at this setup: http://mpgroupcpa.com/post/3-tier-corporate-structure-real-estate-investors/@Jacob Perez was right on what it takes to get a mortgage, income, credit, the house and down payment.For rental units the banks consider 50% of the rental income as the portion that can count towards your income.As for credit, a cell phone on a contract and a credit card are great ways to build up credit fast.

As my team rebounded from the shock of this news and before they could call me on my cell, the previous "property manager" arrived at the house. 

I hold several rental properties and receive solicitations regularly on my personal cell, some prospectors are plowing through phone numbers, when I answer they don't even know the address they're calling about.

Plus if there is cell phone reception it is even better as you can make a hot spot. 

Get a burner cell phone.

I can just see them sitting in a jail cell next to a mass murder when he asks what they are in for.

Also, I'm wondering if the previously listed hours may be outdated as most people have cell phones and work during the day. 

They take crappy photos with their cell phones.

Owner has been contacting him via cell phone , email and letter to his business address , later finding out that the business address they gave doesn’t exist .

Will look to that income to help cover simple living costs (say my cell phone and internet bills).Hope this helps, I'm sure others will have different opinions but that is the beauty of BP, lots of diverse and interesting perspectives!
