I have been filing each LLC partnership return (1065) and the rental income would go on our personal returns. 1) Should I put all houses under single-member sole proprietor so that I don't have to file a partnership return (1065) for each home and the rental income just reported on the Schedule E of my 1040?

It's a tough market but there are still some great deals to be had in today's market.Until last year we were relying solely on buying from MLS, foreclosure auction and other wholesalers but starting this year we started doing our own marketing and got really focused in Q2 and we are on track to have our best year ever in 2018.Not only will we do more deals this year but the margins on our deals have gone up as well.

The buyeris an investor and intends to utilize any and all investment opportunities for the subject property at their sole discretion inorder to maximize their return on investment and in doing so may resell the property at any time for any price at noexpense or delay to seller.Then I add the Representative Capacity Signature Disclosure.Thoughts?

Your REIA will be a good source for one if you don’t know one.

So what you are saying is that as long as my tax return reflects the additional income appropriately then a lender would have no issue with using it as a source of income when applying for a mortgage?

Are you wanting to invest solely in Cincy or are you looking outside your market? 

Zillow for example has not managed to turn a profit yet since their launch in 2006, they are desperatly looking to add profit sources.

I hope other experienced investors can point us to single sources, but suspect the tools and knowledge is gained from many angles (books, podcasts, seminars, mentors, etc.) and experiences (successes and failures). 

Normally you pay a significant option fee that pays the owner for the lost opportunity of giving you the sole right to purchase while you get your financing together.

Do you know of any local investors in the area that would be good sources to connect with?
