But most nationwide lenders will do what I described because odd the advent of school savings and medical accounts.

How do we handle overhead expenses such as home office deduction and medical?

FOR BUY AND HOLDING REAL ESTATE***GOOD***-If you plan to hold real estate, the safest and most risk avoidance way to use an LLC, is to set up a LLC for each and every single property that you will own. the reason being is that if you are sued and are at fault then they can only take as much from you that is in the LLC. lets put it this way. you have 4 properties, Total value $200,000. each of them have a LLC and are valued at $50,000 each. if a person is hurt for some reason and they find you at fault for it, the person can seek $200,000 in medical payments from that LLC totaling the value of the LLC. in other words they can only take $50,000 and not the total of $200,000 in value, and your 3 other properties are safe.

So, I wanted to know what type of insurance I should have above and beyond regular property insurance so that I'm not stuck paying medical bills if someone does get hurt on the job. - Networking - If anyone has any networking opportunities for newbies in the greater Seattle area, please share!

It could've been medical bills or even a short sale 3 to 5 years ago.The kind of home buyers I don't like are those are people that do not like to pay their bills in general and they're not going to be a good rent to own client for me.Another kind of buyer for lease purchase I don't like are arrogant people that think the world owes them something, there is an arrogance or self-importance to them, they think the laws don't apply to them.So find the right attitude for the buyer to work in tandem with the sellers is important.Here's marketing ideas for buyers and sellers.Marketing for sellersI like expired leads, listed houses with other agents, FSBOs, landlords, and other wholesalers.Expireds are the best lead, they want to sell today, so go knock on their door and give them a free report on lease to own.Listed houses that are long on days on the market (long DOM) are also terrific but if you're licensed you're interfering with the listing so be careful.

Seller needs some equity to pay medical bills.

My only experience is that I owned a townhouse  rental 10 yrs ago and sold it a year later in 2005 when I saw some topping signs and did well.My partner and I are both medical professionals and we both have great credit.
