@Antoine Black  In general, yes, it goes off your personal credit. 

If you’re In a title state make proof of utility pay off a condition of closing.

If that's a turn-off for you, then don't go.

As far as I know, you can deduct off your W-2 income if you are a real estate professional. 

With all new utilities being right off the I-44 and exit 153 makes it ideal.

Off-market and direct-to-seller appear the best avenue toward decent margins.Pricing & ARVs: Home values in many areas are holding their own, but buyers are getting pickier.

Quote from @Josh Otero: Hi BP community, I know you've got some crazy tenant stories and I want to hear it.I'll go first:1) I was managing a 5 story apartment building and a dog fell off the 4th floor balcony because of the owner not paying attention.

You're off to a bad start if you must create a poor perception of other options to make your concept look good.  

If the land is in a suitable location, this could open up opportunities for developing 2 homes or even selling off one of the lots, which could lead to a good profit.

Off-market, agent-listed, or are you networking with other investors who have deals lined up?
