@Jackie Liu we see this a lot, where many PMCs and DIY owners only require the last 3 paystubs to gauge income.How can a tenant consistently pay rent, unless they have consistent income?

Whether it's joint ventures, co-investing, or sharing insights, I'm always eager to connect with other investors who share my vision for success in real estate.My goal is not just to succeed individually but also to contribute positively to the real estate community by fostering growth, innovation, and ethical investment practices.
