@Jason FlintHow do you feel about the trade off on properties not being in the LLC name anymore (or ever depending on if you changed that) I’m always nervous about that and find value in anonymity at scale.

@Ed BaladoYou should tell her to ask her accountant.It depends on how many loans she originates.If she originates a few - it would be interest incomeIf she originates more than a few - she may be deemed in a trade or business which would be taxed slightly different.

Sounds like being direct to seller was the key, along with your ninja RE skills.

Without that skill.... it will never be anything but a bumpy road, and costly one.

We constantly see HVAC, plumbing and wiring systems that can only be work/rent trades with tenants who convince a landlord that they can rewire the house cheap!

Here are some possibly beneficial skills.

Do you have experience managing, construction skills, or anything else?

The skill set necessary to manage RE is not always the same as the skill set to sell it. 

Once you have this number, you need to look at your repair costs (this takes skill in construction estimating), to arrive at an estimated rehab budget.

Im sure some officers are more skilled than others even though they technically have the same job.So my question is, do you call completely different banks/ credit unions or do you call different branches of the same bank chain?
