I have a full time job, but have been looking for secondary employment to create more capital to start my investing ventures. 

I have the opportunity to start investing in my 401(k) through my employer.

What did you do to convince your lender or find the right lender to find a 80/20 refinance for the BRRR method?

Would have capital for rehab cost.Would like to utilize BRRR method once I become more compentent in REI.

If I use IRA money to purchase a home and am using the BRRRR method.

It's nice to hear a sponsor spend an hour talking about their business and operations, and less about the specific contours of a deal.Obviously they are still in pitch mode, but I think it gives you a better idea of the principles they employ.

But I consultant my CPA who says that rental properties don't go in Schedule C and even if I was able to put them on Schedule C, I would be subject to self-employment taxes.

McCray mention, but if Corporations can access criminal history for employment, then I feel Landlords should have the right as well.

I particularly enjoy browsing through county records although I'm not sure if it's the most effective method.

So, would you say keep it simple and just give it time to find a good deal through conventional methods, or start with more advanced strategies that I have yet to become totally familiar with.
