Will a prequalification run my credit report more than once if I decide to shop around for a friendly lender.

Nevertheless, in response to commenters' requests, the final rule provides a non-exclusive list of methods that issuers may use to satisfy the verification requirement for individual investors.The methods described in the final rule include the following:Reviewing copies of any IRS form that reports the income of the purchaser and obtaining a written representation that the purchaser will likely continue to earn the necessary income in the current year.Receiving a written confirmation from a registered broker-dealer, SEC-registered investment adviser, licensed attorney, or certified public accountant that such entity or person has taken reasonable steps to verify the purchaser's accredited statusThe underlined/bolded item above leads me to believe that this guidance is only for reference and one can do their own, independent process provided it is reasonable.

Always do a thorough tenant screening including employment verification, credit, background, criminal and eviction reports.

The debt, which previously showed on my credit report should report as closed when the bank next reports.Good luck...Chris

It took some time, but a tenant moved in February, unfortunately, the tenant and her boyfriend have been nothing but bad news.

The good news is...if you think about it, you only have to do this once.

However, as reported in other posts that was eventually a wash. its the proverbial 'cat & mouse' but the cat has traps (that keep moving) :)good luck

Inspection report came back today and is about as flawless as you can get.

I already have one property that reports positive cash flow.

If you want to get R/V ratios where you can get decent cash flow (even with maximum leverage) and favorable rates of return, then you'll probably need to look elsewhere (as in out-of-state).I've compiled a report called the "2013 Housing Market Forecast" that might help point you in the right direction as far as market choices, but I will also tell you that I am working on an article specifically addressing the question of "Where should I invest?"
