Hi BiggerPockets Landlords,I just picked up a small fourplex in rural CA and after speaking to two of the tenants already on the phone, one speaks no English, so a child was translating for me.  

We can translate that on a landlord level just fine.

The only relevant question is if your "sneaky ways" will translate to a commercial 5+ unit property.If you want to hide your "sneaky ways" that's your prerogative but let me ask you this: How are those of us that own commercial properties going to tell you if it's applicable?

(Translation: buying 'tear downs' and building new construction in desirable neighborhoods.)I formed a single member LLC to be taxed as a sole proprietorship.  

Paying by check just shows that you paid someone specific but that doesn't translate to what's reported on your tax return.

When we first started out we paid a translator to put our agreement into Spanish. 

:Post a pay or quit in English and Spanish and don't back down.I do NOT recommend translating anything for tenants.

Let's translate to actual numbers.  30,000 people this potentially affect.

The reason I am creating this post is, I was a student first and had an employee mindset, in today's world and 10 years of school to obtain a masters degree, this translates to roughly 110k in student loan debt.

Which hopefully translates to profitability, but that’s really another skill set.
