Hi everyone, please read my story in the comments below.

@Spencer Cornelia I just listened to your podcast episode two days ago and read through your 6 part series.

Read Averys book and past posts in this forum.

I read about a 1091 exchange and if i reinvest my money into another property within 6 months then ill avoid paying the taxes on it. is this a good plan, if not do you have any other suggestions.  

Make sure you talk to a Banker or Loan officer that is well versed in both SE (Self Employed) income and also Non/QM programs.One tip I will give you as a Banker is open up a "Business Checking account" and for the next 12 months pay "Everything" out of that account. 

I require proof of income, and verify it by contacting the human resources department of their employer in writing. 

As far as I have been reading, a bedroom does NOT need a closet.  

I did not read anything other than your title and my answer was YES.

According to what I have read straight from the IRS website and other places, we need to either meet 500 hours, or at least 100 hours and also work more than anyone else on the property.

@January Johnson - I like what I'm reading!
