My momma used to say, "God gave you two ears and one mouth, use them in the proportion they were given to you." 

Hi, @Alexis Soto,Maybe research the proportion of homeowners vs. renters there are in the neighborhood.

I realize my success is proportional to the amount of action I do.

If you do your own research and decide it works for you then all you need to do is to inform the title agent or add a line to the contract stating how you would like to take title and the proportions for each party.

I know that it isn't directly proportional to rental rate increases because everything else (expenses) go up with it as well.

You can be as comprehensive, or not, as you like; these are just resources.Have a contract: this is helpful in direct proportion to the assets of the contractor, which is to say that if the contractor isn't sue-able, then the contract is really just a guideline.

@Darren @Darren LanderwayundefinedYes, it's pretty discouraging listening to the general populace who are basically deal makers and not real estate professionals, heck, seems like most don't even know business common sense, much less real estate.If you owned a used car lot in a rural area where pick up trucks were the hottest sellers, then SUV's and very few in the area drove a compact car, when you go to auction, what do you buy? 

Our prop taxes do not go up proportional to rental income, the way it does in 49 states.

@Rick Gonzalez, If you're talking about extensions on the 45 and 180 day time frames then your only bet is to pray for an earthquake or hurricane of such proportion that the IRS gives a disaster extension for all filings in the affected area and that you are in that affected area. 

I'm trying to avoid hard money loans; I've heard rumors of bank programs where they will loan a proportion of ARV as a construction loan that becomes a mortgage after it is done.
