I’m wanting to be prepared and educated since I’m new to this and looking for advice.

The reaction of the general public to a headline like "banks clamp down on shady investors"? 

Unfortunately, this problem waste a lot of my time that could be spent on other investments.I have used the same tax professional for many years and he is very educated, but also much older than me and it's hard for me to understand all the reasons he has expressed why is better to put the rental on my personal tax returns.

If you’ve got strong tenant demand, proximity to top employers, or even access to public transit, you’re laying a solid foundation.

My goal is to build a business that serves corporate clients; construction and infrastructure development teams, medical/education faculty, corporate relocation, family emergency relocation services, sports travel/events,corporate and industryand I want to learn from those of you who are doing this successfully and are willing to share actionable ideas for how I can be successful in offering value to these groups.Thank you!!

States that are non-disclosure don't have as much public information and Zillow doesn't have access to non-public info for their analytics. 

I prefer public comments here before you send a direct message, though. 

In many states, this is public information.

Does that mean that education doesn't work too and is a bigger scam that what you are making this out to be?

I would be happy just throwing my money into index funds if that makes the most sense, I'm just not well educated in the area of passive income enough to feel confident in any decision.
