On the other hand I really don't like higher end rentals , harder to find tenants and adding a lot more stress if they are vacant .

@Shiloh Lundahl , my JOb is been a Realtor and a Wholesaler,  I know, it is in the same industry but I love making active income and invest for long-term passive  income,  first, I got some SFH, rented on section 8,  but now selling them and with a goal of acquiring my first Mobiel home park.Been an agent is really great because I do not sell houses, I sell homes, all my clients and now my friends, some of them are already  interesting on investing on RE as passive investors 

I've used vrbo/homeaway previously but found then to be less active for some reason.

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.
