My thinking is that I'll be able to write off the expense of the PM management, but I'm wondering how I will be taxed if I'm a co-member of the PM LLC.So my first question is this.

I was just reminded of this when I easily applied for a CO for an Investor buddy of mines in Roselle.

If you have a CO, then you should be fine.

Ultimately I was told that I would need to have a co-signer as a result of only working part time at the moment (I am starting a full time job in early October).A possible solution that I am considering is having my friend/potential partner go through the same process to qualify for a mortgage, since he has had a stable, full time job for some time now.

As of now I'm looking in the Yonkers/White Plains area for a co-op that allows subletting.

Do a contract with a COE 6 months from now

I eventually want to get into fix and flips and buy and holds, but for now, wholesaling will be my main focus.For all you experienced Hawaii investors, since I am so new and inexperienced, perhaps if I find great deals through my marketing efforts, maybe one of you would consider helping me take down the deal and we could a co-wholesale :).

A co worker of mine put me on to BP, and explained how he learned alot here, and now has 2 properties under his belt. 

Ask them to let the LLC take a co-signer position even if not needed to qualify and to report the LLC and personal debt to credit agencies as a joint account.

I was required and it's wise to require most students to have a co-signor/guarantor.
