Brian Jameson If you show a loss YoY on your returns, most of the traditional long term financing options will be closed to you, including Fannie/Freddie and typical bank loans.

Expect triple taxes in the future (which is my concern with making money in traditional IRA versus Roth) and expect perpetual low interest rates and thus perpetual asset bubble crashes.I have seen the trend and that's why I only to be investing in real estate as a hedge fund manager.

Traditional financing should be pretty straight forward.

I'm technically newly self employed so I don't qualify for traditional financing through a mortgage company.

@Christian Bors I hear ya.

Hey @Christian Sasam, welcome to BiggerPockets!

What that will allow you to do is setup a US Bank account.The fact of the matter is that traditional bank finance is difficult to obtain (especially in the early stages).

I had a person contact me who, of course can't get a traditional mortgage but was wondering if I could help her with a particular property.

I'm currently stuck and do not have any way for traditional funding and my credit is to low for other methods.
