Verify applicants' employment and income to make sure they can afford the rent.

Hi investor I have 10 fully leased section 8 tenants oh and btw here is my income statements and all the income from my section 8 properties showing the state of where ever you live depositing into my account, which on do you think you will be better off when time comes to sell??? 

(And then you’ll just have to make $25k for every year it took you to “catch up” to make up for the lost CD income.) 

I haven’t had any rental income from it since 2021.

If you can go 'Full Doc" another words use income to qualify plus rents it would be worth it to take a look at other options.I would be interested in knowing what program you are using and the property type.  

My wife and I look at a few different things: - Location - City growth (are people moving there, is a big company settling there)- Costs of the property vs. the rental income - Appreciation vs. cash flow (which is sometimes dependent on the city)I'm curious to hear what others have to say!

We still like the old fashion long-term rentals for the consistency and reliability of income.

As an example in a different real estate “product”, we owned a 70 unit motel that we had converted to mostly low income housing.  

It depends on your cost per acre however in my area you get very little return on the income from the farming lease as the cost per acre is so high relative to what the going rate for a farming lease is.

Obviously, the interest I earn from lending would be taxable income, but how would the initial investment be treated for tax purposes?
