Make sure you talk to a Banker or Loan officer that is well versed in both SE (Self Employed) income and also Non/QM programs.One tip I will give you as a Banker is open up a "Business Checking account" and for the next 12 months pay "Everything" out of that account. 

Still open to any PM recommendations if anyone has any.Hi Natalie, I was only using Icon for leasing purposes after they started up, but for the last few years I've been leasing and managing my own properties. 

I fired them last year.I just opened my mail to find a notice from a COLLECTION AGENCY stating I owed them money.

Another option would be working with private lenders to see if they're open to your idea should you need additional funding. 

I am open to investing basically anywhere, as long as I could make it work.

Just closed on one for a client over the hill in Reno, NV, that was sitting on the open market and they took an aggressive offer. 

.* Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.

As you get more experience, scaling up to larger properties will open up even more opportunities.

We go above and beyond when it comes to protection.. starting with insurance coverage, sings in the listing and in the property that there is no guard on duty (as silly as that sounds), putting extra locking device high enough so youngsters can't reach, an alarm/beep system to alert them that door opens for those with small children (or elderly) so they cannot wander out in the backyard with no one noticing and risk drowning.

I am completely open to suggestions!
