Hi Xavien,You’ve raised an excellent and often overlooked point about the benefits of business credit, particularly for real estate investors.

They have other nice benefits also such as not charging for appraisals if the deal doesn’t close, a great reputation amongst local listing agents with meeting deadlines/ great customer service/ getting the job done with no b.s. and they can often close in under 14 days. 

And the menus and sub menus and configuration options to view the stats are confusing and different on laptop or phone 🙈Is anyone getting any benefit from the Airbnb stats???

Have also done work in DC and Maryland and would say Virginia has significant benefits over DC and Maryland because it is more business friendly and jurisdictions are willing to work with not against developers on projects I mentioned as well as you mentioned With the federal government and government contractors not going away - area is great for investment.

I do not believe converting to condos would decontrol the building.I own a 4-unit multifamily in Union City and am considering condo converting it at some point in the future, though I do not think rent decontrol would be among the potential benefits of the conversion.

If you're going to owner occupy and and want to benefit from some rental income then I'd go for it, but if you're looking for some combination of appreciation and cash flow there are better places to put your cash.

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

It won't be as much death benefit as you have now, but it's better than losing the money completely.  

And you still get the same benefits in terms of tax benefits (depreciation is a beautiful thing), rental profits, principal paydown and appreciation. 

This in itself is an understated benefit because its a real pain having to explain to a lender, prospective employer etc. why your name is in the docket.
