I wonder how many investors actually background their GP other than google search's.back in the day when I had my HML in Oakland it was definitely a violation to advance payments for borrowers on loans that have investor monies into..

Here's what I do....again it may be controversial, but there is such an enormous pool of tenants that have vouchers that I can do this and still have plenty of people...No smoking of any kind.....I don't care if you have a card that says you need "it" for medical reasons.No evictions, ever.No felonies in the last 5 years.No dangerous breed "animals" or pets  and when fully grown the pet can't weigh more than 20 lbs.They will pay for a background check through SmartMove that costs $40.00I don't care what "story" they have, I don't sign the RFTA package until they give me one full months depositI actually don't care what their credit score is because the housing authority pays most of their rent.I don't care about their oncome because the housing authority pays most if not all of their rent. 

My background really comes more from construction and development in residential and retail construction.

With no RE background and a full time job I was still able to create the right entity I needed, develop a powerful tax strategy, found a partner to invest with, and about to close on a rehab where we will both make $25k+.

Background: Im a urologist from Canada.

Personal background: Married with no kids, 100% debt free, live a rather tame lifestyle and don't spend large amounts of money, two newer vehicles (2020 & 2024) so no vehicle purchases expected for the next 10 years. 

(If they are an adult you should have already done a background check on them.) you could also renew them at the higher rate on a MTM term in case the payment issues continue.

With your CPA background and audit experience, you already have a strong foundation for analyzing deals and understanding the financial side of real estate—a huge advantage as you dive into this new journey.
