This guys thinks that you can get rich quick flipping houses - because they exclamation points adds emphasis, but in realty I'm not even looking to make as much as I do from my 9-5. 

I am looking to get involved in the real estate world with an emphasis on rental properties.

Houses are capital projects (long-term assets) and should be evaluated short-term but with an emphasis on long-term.  

Also, most wholesalers emphasis cash but will also take hard money lending and private lending.

I'll emphasis too that its "broker", not a salesperson. 

If the emphasis is going to be on your own comfort and enjoyment of the property and any rental income is a bonus, then there's a set of deals for that pursuit...if the emphasis is going to be on a cash-flowing investment and any use you get out of the property is a bonus, then there's a set of deals for that as well.

Thank you Hi Mary this is a different topic thread but Fannie used to count all properties in entities as "financed properties," as long as you owned more than 25% in that entity as documented by your annual K1 form which your LP/LLC/Scorp/flow through entity will show your ownership percentage.This meant that even if the mortgage note was in the LLC's name and the title was in the LLC's name you'd still be hit with these properties as financed properties as long as you owned more than 25% of the company/entity.Fannie has evolved their language on how they count financed properties in late 2017.Now their emphasis is on you being "personally obligated," on the note or basically if you're personally obligated on the note/mortgage/paper instrument.A real life experience or example is that most local credit unions or community banks that use the same loan origination software  will make you sign make you sign the mortgage note as a manager of your LLC however the personal guarantee (PG) is a separate document.

Emphasis on the numbers working.

I specialize in individual and business taxes with an emphasis in real estate.

There are lots of ways you can force immediate appreciation on residential MFR's.I probably  should have put emphasis on the word "directly" in my statement: You can't directly capture forced appreciation in residential the way you can with commercial.
