Bankruptcy (Chapter 13)A distinction is made between Chapter 13 bankruptcies that were discharged and those that were dismissed.

You need someone who has enough of this type of business that it was worth his time to discuss the distinctions with the Banking Commision or whatever department oversees that area.  5. 

I think the distinction between what kind of guests use which platform is eroding slowly, but it seems to me there is still a difference.

So in this example, you'll pay:$28,500 x 12.4% = $3534 Social Security Tax$50,000 x 2.9% = $1450 Medicare TaxDepreciation is not a consideration when flipping and the profits are most certainly taxable.The IRS sees no distinction between buying a house, fixing it up and selling it as compared to buying a bunch of widgets, assembling them into a final product and selling it.  

There are plenty of areas in DC that make good investments, each with their distinct pluses and minuses.

Some banks may go more conservative to 75% to reduce their own risk however its important to know this distinction because it could be the difference between getting the loan and not especially with people who have tight DTI ratios.My second point about the above is the "self sufficiency," rule that every is mentioning is not measured by taking 85% of gross rents to meet the entire PITIA of the property if its done in the actual underwriting guidelines you take the entire gross rents of all units and compare it to the PITIA of the property if the total monthly gross rents are the same or greater then it meets the self sufficiency tests for 3-4 unit properties.Regarding the income being above being more than the PITIA or monthly total obligation, this wouldnt happen anyway atleast on owner occupied properties because income on rental property is underwritten separately and added to income while liabilities are added as an obligation you have to qualify for.

Current Situation:As of today we have executed three separate deeds and have separated the parcel into three distinct lots.

I like to draw distinction to yield as cash flow opposed to [total] return.

Thank you for posting this distinction of hands on investor involvement.

IMO, the best way to approach investors and lenders is appraoching those who fall in two categories:Those with money who have already made real estate loand; andThose with money who have never made a real estate loan.Yes, they have something in common, but these are two distinct groups, the cheapest money will come from the novice.
