Two, you'll have a much easier time obtaining a mortgage product if you have a track record of W2 income.In the meantime, continue implementing the strategies you mentioned: save religiously, build your credit, pay any existing debt owed, etc.

Hey @Raven Ye Mahar, so you should call the city and make sure but if you are renting it long term, you shouldn't be on the hook for any of the occupancy taxes.Nashville has a STR Occupancy Tax - https://www.nashville.gov/departments/finance/office-treasur...In the end, I would just call the city and get the deets that way. 

You will get some of these as well (This inquiry was for one of my 1500 SF 2 Bed + home office units)..... but by no means does this investment strategy warrant paying for a course.

Unlike some buyers, I ALWAYS go look at the properties before the sale and discovered that the vacant lot had an active railroad track on it and therefore was unbuildable, and would remain unbuildable until the railroad removed their track. 

For another business I run I do post daily accountability in a FB/mentorship group and that does help me stay on track.

You cannot rent out an entire home/apartment for fewer than 30 days.Your STR must be registered with the Office of Special Enforcement.

So I committed to tracking everything throughout the year.

You’re going to deduct your tax prep, your internet, your cellphone, your computer, your tablet, your mileage if you’re involved in the properties, your home office, etc etc.

I have resorted to downloading ALL my leads to a spreadsheet for tracking.

You're still on track.
