*Note: this post is intended for investors who actively DO NOT automatically file a 1040 every year, unless they've incurred a tax liability.I'm wondering what difficulties investors who understand (have read the pertinent details of the tax code) have faced when engaging in investment opportunities that normally require an investor to furnish tax returns, and what solutions have they come up with.From my experience in banking, I understand that institutional lenders normally require a borrower to furnish yearly personal financial statements and tax returns.

The LTV you receive on the refi will be dependent on multiple factors.

I recently engaged an owner that posted his 5 unit property for sale as a FSBO.

I’m new so I’m not sure if these numbers are correct but I’ve done generally searches on multiple sites and 55k is about where they all land.

On another forum, someone argued that buying just one property was a bad idea, stating that it will "drain me" and that you need multiple properties to be successful.

@Derek Dombeck Thanks for the great insight and multiple options.

@Tom Smith I think that is a pretty attainable goal and can happen multiple ways.

Like any business to make money you need to dig your heels in, setup methodologies that help you reach your goals and execute your plan with multiple exit strategies. 

But that money cannot be expensed when it was spent but rather must be depreciated over multiple years. 

I do have cash but prefer to use across multiple properties with leverage.
