I'm familiar with this strategy, and it hinges upon the assumption that your income exceeds your expenses.

Obviously, this is just my own analysis but the new administration anticipation is the flavor of the year.I'm still yet to be fully sold that we're healthy as a country and that 100% of what we're being told will happen-- I'm betting less than 50%.

I bet it would hardly move the needle.

@Gary Bonds the only way you'll bet a business loan as a newbie, is by cosigning for your business.You'd be better off getting a business credit card you personally cosign for to start establishing business credit.

In fact, I've got some bets in the markets that hinge on this happening.

So your best bet is to put yourself in their shoes and shop around just like they would be.Also, some markets are definitely seasonal, and your market rent could change drastically from winter to spring/summer.

I do see a ton of 2 unit houses on Zillow, so would it be a good bet that these are landlords trying to unload their stock before student housing regs kick in?

ThanksI bet that's a good short term rental market!

Your best bet is to get an estoppel that verifies their lease dates, rent being paid, security deposit, and advanced rent.

I bet if they found a subsurface problem, I would own those. :-)ps.
