If you continue filing taxes jointly the income you realize from your separate property will still need to be explained and redacted, regardless of the type of entity holding the real estate.

I hope things continue to improve for you.

Yes I have known it to work because the owner is not a push over, enforces policy and can make it run good......however, do you have the right personality to do this, AND if you move out can you continue to have the house run smoothly with no one in charge.  

Hey Hey @Veronica Mitchell - The most simple advice is to follow the CTA trainlines.I personally love the South East Corridor of Chicago which has Bronzesville, Kenwood, Washington Park, Hyde Park, Woodlawn, and South Shore.That area will continue to be gentrified because you have the lakefront and CTA trains.Others mentioned NW along the Blue and West along the Pink, Green, and Blue lines.

I just started using PriceLabs (still on a free trial, will see if I continue using it).  

It could have been the tenants of the house right next to my property continuing to flush things they should not have despite lots of warnings from the city, and they moved out a little over a year ago.

I continue making the underlying mortgage payment myself (autopay) and get reimbursed from the borrowers payment.

Assuming that continues and you manage your properties competently people will think you are way smarter than you are in 10 years. 

I'm looking in miami florida for sites where we could get the numbers to work and we are getting close maybe in homestead. with that you could continue to pull cash out after it was built. in our market we need about .1 acres and we get land under 60k that the investors buy. the build cost is about 75% of appraised value or a little less. the investor refinances out on a DSCR loan and continues on. this strategy is ground up and it takes advantage of the buyers market for land in our market.

Vanessa, If you choose the seller financed route, you could potentially continue investing under the bank's stringent debt-to-income radar, so to speak.
