(I feel like it should be someone in close proximity in case they need to see documentation.)I've got everything pulled together and pretty much entered into the H&R Block software.

Just practice and be patient, and sooner or later you will find the right deal/ opportunity to enter the passive income dream we all share.Last, since you are military, there is someone who has had a similar situation as yourself who has succeeded.

Hey, I was wondering if any landlord has had experiences renting to T.R.A approved individuals?

My further research indicated that any deficit in return on original loan amount is considered a "non-business bad debt" treated as short-term capital loss, but foregone interest is excluded (because individuals operate on a cash basis). 

Our thought is to create a separate entity that our current cannabis company will own a part of, give some equity to the right partner and then either have investors invest directly in that entity so that they have some ownership in every property we acquire or they can choose to invest in individual properties with our company. 

One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or loose money in any market.

If you choose to buy during this frenzy you will likely overpay for the asset and as vacancies increase you run the risk of entering negative territory.The only exception to this is affordable housing.

Or allow the individual to partner and take an equitable share of the profits until I can pay them off. 

I have helped hundreds of Buyers, and these days, no matter how many searches I set up for them or individual listings that I see and send to them uniquely, they still seem to want to search on their own and hence do so. 

OR maybe a lot of the rentals in your area were recently renovated, or have a pool, or have amazing views, or a million other things that the property you're targeting doesn't have in which case you have to skew your estimates up or down...There's a million ifs in the data, whether you inspect individual properties or aggregate views of your area.
