My understanding is that interest income derived "in the ordinary course of a trade or business" is considered business income and is subject to SE tax.

Any advice or pointers on finding these investors would be appreciated.Daniel VargasAurumys110 SE 6th St Fort Lauderdale Florida

its all digital.. there are no abstractors per se on the west coast.  

I would be careful forming a specific list per se.... things will happen that are not normal "wear and tear" that the tenant should be responsible for and if its not on the "list" you are stuck... the list will need to continue to evolve.Keeping it relatively vague keeps your option open.

@Gerald J Flattmann III Hello, I service the San Tan Valley and Apache Junction area for investors and provide Property Management in the same.20 years in Arizona, all residential in the SE Valley with the last 6 as Property Management.I manage everything from single family to 12 plex at this time.

No, it's not just my part of Seattle, we are the 6th most expensive housing market in the country, not Detroit or "SE Michigan" where you can buy a house for the price of a car.

There was someone on this site who had a "master list" per se of all the DFW meetups.

I'm thinking that something that cash flows $100 - $200 should be just fine, since I can refinance later at a lower rate, and move all that extra interest to the profit column.Let me know if you see any issues with the approach above or if I'm being too hopeful.Thanks again,Andres@Andrés Aguilar There is no issue with your approach per se, but realize that it will cost you $3,000+ to do that refi.  

Yes, this one is a unicorn and kind of a high PP, but this is a prime example of what works in these areas and will absolutely blow away other RE investments.this is not my listing.https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2006-Thistle-Thorn-Trl-Se...

While I do not think dressers per se are important, I think a well stocked closet with hangers and some sort of cubes/organizers in the closet can likely do the trick as well.
