@Yakub Saputra the easiest solution is to consult a lender prior to pressing send on your taxes. 

I'm hoping that we can find some people who are willing to lend to us on our first property deal, which may be a little hard-pressed to do.When you are doing your rehab, what value have you been generally able to add on to a property given what you put into it?

Same with the bean grinder and whole beans + french press.

If you do not follow proper formalities, a court can rule it is not a real business and treat you as if you don't have an LLC (called Piercing the corporate Veil) I recommend the self help legal books by NOLO Press.

I strongly disagree with many of the assumptions being made and impacts being predicted, both here on BP and in the press more widely.People are going to live where they want to live.

Look at the last 10 years trend lines in Dallas Country and Bexar County in home sales, median home price, and rental index, and you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference.

And I also am a fan of the few books dealing with Rentals, as of Nolo Press.

I think you'll be hard pressed to get much interest with an offer of 50% of non existent profits. 

I suppose i have two pressing questions1.Any advice on when i should start contacting real estate agents, financing officers, or doing property tours?

Even with a relationship with a credit union or small local bank, you're going to be hard pressed to find instant refinances based on the appraised value.Fannie Mae guidelines require you wait at least 6 months before you refinance, but you may run into the max number of properties allowed to be financed as well if you're buying a bunch.
