A W2 can be frustrating but it provides a guaranteed paycheck, subsidized healthcare, matching retirement, tuition reimbursement, equity programs, PTO, and more.   

There are a bunch of different products and programs out there.

Hello, I have a few rental properties and I am looking for a program that tells me the overall performance once I input income and expenses.

There are lenders that have a 5-8 program and some that go up to 10 units.

Material Participation Activities:Property Maintenance: Engage in repairs or construction work on the property to maintain or enhance its condition.Contractor Management: Oversee the hiring and coordination of contractors or handymen for property-related tasks.Tenant Interaction: Communicate with tenants regarding lease agreements, inquiries, or property issues.Property Acquisition: Invest time in property search and evaluation processes, including visits to potential investment properties.Property Management Tasks: Perform activities typically handled by property management companies, such as rent collection or property inspections.Non-Qualifying Activities:Educational Pursuits: Time spent on real estate education or training programs does not count towards material participation.Investor Hours: Hours dedicated to investment analysis, financial planning, or portfolio management are not considered material participation.

Overall, there are a lot of nuances and a few questions we would have to confirm to be sure we were setting you up with the best program for you. 

With the vastness of the program it is difficult to know and learn everything about the software.

Stephen,You can use a Bank Portfolio program to buy a Duplex as an investment and it only requires 15% down.

Maybe try calling your local Housing Assistance Program (HAP) office and asking them about this requirement.
