Don't forget, not only family and friends but anyone you already know and then anyone you meet subsequently.

@Brandon Turner No, I haven't used any of the methods you mentioned.However, I was creative while purchasing my 1st home and all subsequent homes after that.

Subsequently, you can process a solo 401k loan.

Subsequent placements cost one month rent, just like any other RE agent or PM company would charge.

When you purchase a property, you purchase all components as a whole (Revenue Ruling 66-111, 1966-1 C.B. 46 (subsequently modified by Revenue Ruling 73-410, 1973-2 C.B. 53)).

The only downside is that someone (you) would have to check them monthly and on a regular basis to calculate usage and then reconcile that against the master meter bill, then subsequently print a statement with rent + water for the tenant to settle up each month.Good luck!

I'll see how much they bark on subsequent visits.

New hard wired smoke/CO detectors (as per code) were installed & inspected prior to the home being rented.The tenant subsequently removed them & there was a fire.

I have subsequently bought others elsewhere, but none went as smoothly as it did with his outfit.

The lender would include net rental cash flow as part of the income qualification for each subsequent loan to build the portfolio.My questions are:  is this standard practice?
