There is no other investment that you can get the full benefit of owning the entire unit but only pay for a piece, but actually have ownership...as long as you pay your mortgage of course.2.

One piece of advice is to learn about the tax advantages of real estate.

If the landlord is desperate, they should be willing to help pay the tenant to cooperate or vacate.I would also get familiar with the landlord/tenant laws where this is located.Make sure the landlord has a plan to allow your inspector and appraiser (if any of these apply) access to the occupied unit.I did a piece on buying tenant occupied properties awhile back and and got some fantastic responses... maybe something here could help in your situation.

In addition to sending real-time alerts when noise exceeds your set decibel level (and also lets you know if things calm down after 10 minutes), I like the additional info of temperature levels because it's another data piece on top of the thermostat reading.

As other mentioned it's ultimately on the business owner to track income/expenses. 1099s being issued are more a compliance piece on their end to ensure you're reporting income. 

Many, are stacked two or three deep with various newbie wholesalers all trying to get a piece of the action.Find ACTUAL deals, advertise them properly and the buyers will find you!

That is the last piece to my puzzle when underwriting deals.

Too many moving pieces and parts.

I would recommend doing the opposite. look for land on a per acre basis and focus on how could you make it more valuable. we purchased a piece of land for 60k and just got the appraisal back for 900k based on what we got entitled there for a hotel development in columbus ohio. keep the focus on adding value. forget the loan 

Purchase price: $3,200 Just bought this piece of vacant land. 2 acres out in the desert.
