I'm having a hard time trying to find a bank that I can open a business account with online.

I’m an ex realtor who also has some experience working for a private equity group for a short time before I got a really good gig in a completely unrelated industry that will allow me to have options when investing.

Be very careful with this as a first time project! 

You still need some money to cover part of the rehab until you get your first draw, and if you're a brand new investor you might not qualify for 100% LTC on your first deal, but if you can partner with someone with experience on their track record or can prove significant past contractor experience then we might go that high on your first deal. 

A tax pro will not save you time or effort but they may assist if you're unsure. 

I have a separate interest bearing account for security deposits as required by my state laws.

You Might Not Live for FreeMany first-time house hackers expect that their rental income will fully cover their mortgage, but that’s not always the case.

Otherwise it’s time for a big/serious talk about making such a HUGE and basic mistake. 

If you choose to go with a first time home buyer program, you would need to identify all the terms and advantage of that as MANY are available.

I have been asked quite a few times.
