I would like to specialize in multifamily 2 flats - 4 flats, as that’s what I’d like to eventually invest in myself.I'm not opposed to working on a team as long as I get to actively learn. 

Being active in the local real estate market I had lost perspective of how far Tucson has come and how much is actually happening in our community.

If you are on active duty right now you should easily qualify for a VA loan right now.....Go get it!

They are living in a market they are priced out of and look to Midwestern cities for lower entry prices.They do not have the time, ability &/or desire to be an active operator in the business of rental real estate.

Will they be actively involved in the deal as well or are they just bringing part of the equity and putting it in your hands with an expectation of a financial return?

If it's a business but the 1099-S is reported with my personal SSN instead of EIN, is there a way to retro actively change that?

A charge off is tied to the account of last activity, regardless of whether it's been paid off or not.

Then look at other active advertised rentals and find comparables based on area, sq footage, bedrooms, and finishes and see what the going rate is for similar properties.

@Tasha Pams, You cannot charge a finder's fee for finding properties unless you have an active Alabama real estate license. 

@Ted Strzelecki I've actively helped the developers and investors I've worked with make millions of dollars over the years by identifying properties for them and then bringing those properties to them...
