Although flipping properties is a popular strategy, most investors do not realize that unless your flip meets requirements, set by the IRS, it could be subject to self-employment tax (an additional 15+ percent of your profit).

Employment history, debt to income, tax returns, cash reserves all factor in as well.Good luck!

I would have to work under a Principal Broker to manage property for at least three years, until I could upgrade my license.My question is; is it worth it to work under a Principal Broker for three years and possibly have to employ one if I start my own business? 

I just want to hear the pros and cons from anyone who has done this.I can get a 5% employer based where the interest I pay back to myself.The question is say the house is 150k....It is really a 180k loan.   

Last 3 paystubs or 2 year tax return if self employed. 

Not sure how I feel about them, they are close to Airforce base and they employ a lot of people.. 

Ok well i do not like working at a job longer than 3months and have had at least 30 diffrent jobs and im 26 and applying for a mortgage without employment is difficult..

Yes, some higher end employment would be ideal.

Happy New Year All -So one of my goals for 2019 is to get my book keeping much more organized, and while doing that I have a question I thought I would throw out to those more experienced than I. 5 years ago I left my full-time salary job to pursue self-employment as a home contractor as well as run our small portfolio (8 units) of rental properties.  

I am going to see a property with an owner tomorrow and am in communication with another and will look to employ some of these strategies.
