When parents employ their minor child, the child is exempt from Social Security and Medicare (aka FICA) - if under 18.

I’m not claiming to know it all—I’m here to learn, build relationships, and grow.Here’s what I bring to the table:A strong understanding of leveraging Net Operating Income (NOI) to secure financing and reduce out-of-pocket costs.Experience in negotiating deals and identifying opportunities, especially in the LA market where many multi-family properties are under $2 million.Skills in managing larger properties, from scheduling repairs and upgrades to optimizing operations for long-term value.The ability to use AI tools for data analysis, market insights, and deal projections to help us act quickly and efficiently.I’ll be upfront—my funds are limited after dedicating the COVID years to supporting my family, but I have the work ethic and expertise to find and manage properties that perform.

Best approach is to have your "team" set, before going out to secure properties. 

Many laundromats take card payments these days, which is very helpful in verifying revenue.Look at the lease terms – long-term leases with reasonable rent increases are important for keeping costs predictable, and can also be important for securing financing.Also, check out the equipment and figure out what repairs or upgrades might be needed in the near future.

Since the BK must be disclosed in any securities offering, you would not be able to be a partner in a syndicator/sponsor type deal9.

-When a tenant moved out, the management company refunded their security deposit but failed to account for damage, such as holes in walls and outlets ripped off the walls, leaving me with repair bills and also tenants moving in without the repairs being done.Stuff like this that is consistent and when I ask questions they are defensive, when I ask for more quotes for high ticket items they are defensive. 

Focus on areas with high tenant demand, solid cash flow, and potential for long-term appreciation, and you'll be on your way to securing a great investment.Good luck!

I have mlo in Oregon and it’s the division of consumer finance and corporate securities. ca probably has a version of thathowever I did all my loans with my ca brokers license  

It's not an effective strategy but a lot of investors believe throwing in high end appliances in itself secures a buyer.
