I will definitely continue to look in the Akron Area for my next deal!

As the cleaning company continues to grow, I am looking to invest in real estate to create more passive income. 

The past 3 people who did that have either continued to be demanding or have had their contracts "canceled" and I have to work to get the money in the long run.

.- I am aware of my 1031 options should I want to sell and defer taxes beyond that 3-year date (and would need to continue to do so until death if I wanted to avoid those taxes instead of just defer them). - I believe the current rental situation I have is better than the property warrants.

If you are going to continue buying, you really want a lifelong mortgage advisor in your corner who will help structure loans in your best interest.

WIll Trump continue the support?

You increase the likelihood that you continue to receive that $8,500 each month. 

On the 15th year, the investor and I will discuss together whether we want to sell the house OR continue receiving cash flow.

Has appreciated a ton over the past few years, and will continue to do so!

At one point I was told I could obtain funding (non-conforming was the term that was used) with 12 months of bank statements.My question is what would make me more appealing to a lender; should I continue with 1099 work or go to W2??
