@Monica C.I've invested in a little more than 10 separate syndications with about as many different leads.The one thing I appreciate the most is those asset manager who are willing to send out monthly charts of actual vs pro-forma income and expenses.That's not to say that they are always within budget, because they usually aren't, but they at least show a level of honesty and accountability as well as showing progress.I'm invested in some deals that publish very few KPIs if any at all.

Taking your screening method above- as an investor, it would make sense that you are choosing the applicant with the best balance of income, credit, references and a clean background. 

This has caused our clients a lot of missed opportunities or having to grapple with putting 15% down on a duplex and 25% down on a 3-4units.This new program changes the game, now clients with income $92,000 can put 5% down up to a 4 unit. 

If there are tax benefits, that certainly helps and can add to the wealth building by freeing up more cash for more income-producing stuff.My opinion, of course, but I try to encourage my investors to be wealth-forward rather than tax-forward.

I have been looking into other sources of income and thought of getting my mortgage brokers license.I am well connected in my market and am still relatively young at 24 with lots of friends and peers that will be looking to purchase their first homes soon.

I'd recommend having 1 QB account that both you and your partner can access for reports and income/expense tracking.Regarding the platform, I've used QB for over 4 years and its been a game changer for me.

Goal is to reduce your biggest expense (housing) with income coming from the ADU to save money for your next RE purchase.

Code § 7701 - Definitions, my understanding is that the answer is NO, but maybe I am wrong.As the actual rate of withholding is 15% of the sales price, and as the refund (if any) would be "within 90 days", it can be a major setback for my company´s flipping cash-flow because 15% is way higher than the taxable income (and of course than the tax itself), so we would be in the necessity of capital injections to flip the next properties.If any of you have comments on this, it would be very helpful.Thanks in advance

Market is overpriced for the median income and interest rates too high to cash flow.That being said, there are deals - one just needs to be smart

Furthermore, understanding the resident characteristics allows me to measure the target market and modify my investment strategy accordingly.Inspection ChecklistSituations vary from one property to the next, but here is an on-site inspection checklist to get you started:Interior Units:Inspect vacant units, including one of each finish out type (Classic, Reno, etc.).Check all down units.Inspect one unit from each unit mix.Exteriors:Landscape:Look for overgrown bushes.Identify trees that need trimming (no branches hanging over the roof).Take pictures of the following:Curb appeal on all sides facing the street.Landscape around the office and amenities.Overgrown bushes or trees.Any dead landscape.Areas that may need sod or mulch.Assess drainage:Ensure water flows away from building foundations.Check slope, gutters, downspouts, surface drains, French drains, etc.Exterior Walls:Determine the existing material (wood, vinyl, Hardie, brick, stone).Assess the condition of the walls.Note if painting is required.Take pictures of each building, including building number, each elevation (clockwise), and any breezeways or niches.Windows:Evaluate the condition of existing windows.Consider whether solar screens should be installed.Roof:Identify the type of roof.Assess its condition and age.Parking Lot:Check for potholes.Assess the need for restriping.Note whether the parking lot is concrete or asphalt.Evaluate drainage issues.Walkway:Look for tripping hazards.Assess drainage issues.Foundation/Gutters:Inspect for cracks in the brick.Check for separation in corners from fascia and trim boards.Evaluate drainage and identify poor drainage areas.Amenities:Identify possible improvements.Consider adjustments or additions that can enhance amenities.Talk to the Staff:Maintenance: Inquire about the physical condition.Office: Discuss current residents, delinquency, and potential changes to add value.Assess whether rents are too high or too low.Confirm rents and what is included/not included.Confirm other sources of income and associated charges.Confirm occupancy, pre-release, and vacancy numbers.Note: Maintain professionalism and avoid insulting the owner or broker, regardless of the property's condition.Keep in mind that investing in real estate is like solving a puzzle—you need all the pieces to see the big picture.
