I'm sure you use a much more robust platform, but was just trying to think outside the box and make things as least complicated as I possibly could (cozy.co is one that caught my eye). 

My grandiose scheme, aka “business plan” has so far been to leverage my not-insignificant construction resume to get stellar yields out of properties that traditionally have not done well, and therefore force appreciation.  

Provides unified numbers, toll free, robust conference call center for teleconferences, etc.

I don’t have a degree in business or an impressive resume, but what I do have is passion, a love for people/relationships, a growing network, and a willingness to learn and ask questions.

@Andy Reich, if investing own money or getting a mortgage you can pay back over 30Y, you only need look at the long term rental yield to identify whether your investment is robust. 

Prices decline to a point where buying resumes.

Then we will resume inflation driven appreciation.

As per the online systems of smaller banks, I assume a lot of them use third party software that is just as robust as the big box banks?

I can't get past the person who just tells me to send my resume in or apply online to list their properties.

It is possible to skip a year to do the building purchase and then resume the Schedule C, but even then I would be possibly qualifying for the building in 2016, a long ways away, provided lending criteria remained constant - which it may not.I am frustrated to wait that long, and I will not accept not taking what I’m able to claim, so that I can make my building purchase… there has got to be a way to do this.Perhaps someone has a solution or something I or this lender hasn't thought of?
