I trust most active landlords have heard of the April 4, 2016 "Office of General Counsel Guidance on Application of Fair Housing Act Standards to the Use of Criminal Records by Providers of Housing and Real Estate-Related Transactions" For those of you who have read the guidance, what "policies and practices" have you put in place for specific prior criminal behavior?

Youd do well to pick a geographical market that you are working (your "farm") and systematically driving the communities and get to know every street by driving in your car first, noting where the problem activities are, etc.Then define what a "deal" would need to be for another buyer or for you to use your money and keep.

That activity is not for newbies, unless you are a contractor.Yes, we all start somewhere and a safer way to get started is by buying your first home, then a buy and hold SFR to gain experience rehabbing...First of all, flipping a house is not investing.

I was actually seeking the type of advice you just posted.

I also don't want my credit to take a hit with all this loan activity. 

. :) Love the idea of learning from those who have done this, and actively testing out what I learn. 

Time obviously passed by and with me starting to become active on the forums, I decided my 100th post would be a good mile marker to write my first story.My story is not like a lot of the other stories of people doing 25 deals their first year or closing 3 houses in one day.
