review to demonstrate that your business is 2+ years old and thank the CPA for their time (CPAs: I'm all about the Yelp!

Your business card with logo may give people a perception of professionalism at the beginning but true professionalism is demonstrated by how you operate.You asked if it's a bad idea and I think it is.

Let them know you're serious, and demonstrate you know what you're doing and have the resources to close.

If you get audited, you have to demonstrate that you did in fact hold the property for rental/investment purposes and not for sale.

Been at this for 18 yrs and have always taken the position:Can't trust the applicant to do this correctly and you may well get last years which is useless.I pay for the reports (cost of business) and get current data from Experian or Trans Union.I pull the CR, BG, Eviction reports ONLY after they pass muster:  Verified employment, income, prior landlord comments, so the expenses are well constrained.I also ignore the FICO score as that's the Banks view and I'm more interested in the 30,60,90 lates as that demonstrates their current habits.

David has always been a big influence on my life with his unbend-able integrity and the determination he demonstrates on reaching his goals.

Don't forget to factor in state tax.You need to get with a CPA so that you can structure the deal in such a way that you demonstrate investment intent.
