Right now my qualifications are basically - read some books by really smart ppl, joined Bigger Pockets, and have enough capital to buy something modest for maybe $500k… I don’t have a process yet.

Currently reading about second home qualifications.

Here's a great article that explains the process and qualifications.

Quote from @Ryan Judkins: @Julio Gonzalez - my wife is a real estate agent Real estate professional status is for tax purposes and has multiple qualifications.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

https://www.rentspree.com/blog...Landlords and property managers are approved by FCRA regulations to legally review a tenant’s credit report (with consent) for the sole intention of determining an applicant’s qualification to rent.

It's a math problem more than a qualification problem, but you may want to cap your loan amount to get a better rate (and cash flow) vs maxing out and having a little more cash, but really bad cash flow.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

This family is currently searching for a home, and our agent, who also represents them, has generously offered to waive any commission for connecting us.After outlining our standard tenant qualifications—which encompass application requirements, income verification, rental history, credit score, background checks, a non-smoker policy, occupancy guidelines, pet policy, application fees, and move-in costs—our agent indicated that the extensive discussions and adherence to these requirements "equals a full commission of one month's rent."

while you see many members here offer to hey just Ping and I will help you and thats all great but the vast majority do not have our experience or qualifications to be giving advice on certain situations.One of my donors comes to mind it was in TN and she wanted to know about how to find hidden lots.
