I own three houses and I’m self-employed, can I apply for a FHA loan?

Has anyone heard or have applied for a loan from CORNERSTONE INVESTMENT? 

There isn’t really an issue with you investing and also practicing RE in your home state as along as you abide by the ethics and standards you pledge to uphold when applying for you RE license.

A lender once told me it’s never too early to apply for a home loan, so why not?

That's a very important subject, because if the rentals are "merely an investment activity" and "not a trade or business", then the Pass-Thru Deduction does not apply to them.For those of you who are not familiar with this deduction – you really should be.

A commercial mortgage is considered a transaction between two businesses who have access to legal advice, and should be knowledgeable in this space, and therefore consumer protection laws and rules do not apply.

If you already got the property, and it's listed for renting, see if you can apply the bonus depreciation for roof replacing (with the same type of roof, no improvements) - talk with your CPA.

Hi @Gloria WashingtonThe benefit of going solar at the same time as a roof replacement is that the Federal Tax Credit (currently 30%) applies to the roof as well as the solar system.

You may also be required to apply for an ITIN and file a US tax return.You may also have to research if there is a tax treaty in place between the US and your country.Investing through a corporation, while not preferred with appreciating property like real estate, can avoid you from having to file a US tax return.You should consult with an advisor with specific details and to see which option is best for you.

@David Weis, Yes, SEC regulations would apply.
