Through social media, my girlfriend saw the ad for MFM and signed us up.

Grass roots marketing/networking/free social media 2.

It seems to be the lowest cost way to source leads for now, but once I get through my first deal or two, I plan on using an actual service to handle direct mail campaigns and social media campaigns.

I finally decided to close the doors mainly because the unit used was not available anymore, but also because the regulations got stricker and stricker over time.Now, if you want to use your 2-4 as an STR, you need to show proof that you are living in the unit you are renting by sharing a government-issued ID with that exact unit or your tax exemption form.If you have a building over 5 units, it's a bit easier but still challenging ( you can rent up to 25% of the units out for airbnb)...the few people I know that are successful are NOT the owners of the building, but more so the operator of the airbnb unit aka str arbitrage

You'll feel better yes, but success will most likely not be attained.Instead I entice you to start being smart, start thinking, start analytically dissecting theories and opinions and validate them with logic and proof.

What scared in the article is the mentions of personal financial risks, LLCs not really protecting your personal assets, the amount of investors filing bankruptcy , social threats, scams, etc.Is this article over blowing these facts, trying to sell REIT ?

I'm reading up on books and articles on how to do this but sometimes it's easier to join social groups or talk to people close to me that have done it before.Right now my goal is to get pre-approved for a loan and to learn from others.

There are some forms of income that do not require any receipt to use which are some of the above (full time job just offer letter or ownership of newly acquired rental property (lease agreement + security deposit/rent proof only).If you dont plan to go back to full doc then stay in the no income/state world and the premium for these products varies between 1-2.5% higher than full doc fannie/freddie/FHA/VA rates but pros and cons right?

You can find it on Facebook "Birmingham Investor Social".

.: I'm not aware of any requirement for this.I do provide an application because it has a lot of information necessary for tracking the individual: social security number, driver license number, previous addresses, etc.When you take over an existing renter, I recommend you figure out how to get the entire file from the former manager/landlord.
