I tried to set up a CapitalOne Spark Business account.

Account Closed has a networking and informational multifamily group, 2nd Wednesday I have a group of about 15 to 20 networking and informational group. 

Hi everyone,I am new to the USA and looking to invest in property with a long term goal to eventually replace part of my W2 income and also pave the way for my children to get a easier start in life.At the moment I am renting with an intention to buy a single family home this year.In a addition I have other cash - not much - that is sitting in a interest bearing account growing very slowly.

If someone does not need the income coming in from rentals because they have other sources of income, they might be more able and willing to wait to get a larger return from appreciation.

@Gustavo Mendoza it really depends on the tenant and state/local laws.Class A tenants, usually having 680+ credit scores, can be held accountable for a 12 month lease.Most Class B tenants, 620-680 scores, can also.With Class C tenants, under 620 scores, many won't care if a lease is 12 months or MTM, they will move when they please.

I would then get an EIN and a bank account and transfer the funds in order to close on the property and then use as an operating account for the income and expenses so everything can be tracked.I have done deals in a similar fashion as a partnership. 

Additionally, income from an active business inside of a retirement account will be subject to UBIT (unrelated business income tax), so be sure to consult with a qualified tax professional about the implications. 

The tenants are low-income and may not have banks.

In the grand scheme of things, yes, you should eventually replace the windows so 1) They operate properly. 2) It doesn't turn away potential tenants or cause maintenance hassles when a new one moves in.3) Tenants have proper egress in case of an emergency (like fire).Now, windows are expensive, so you'll have to decide how much you're willing to spend, based on how much income the property is bringing in.

I've personally worked with a handful of "investor-friendly" lenders, primarily on DSCR loans in recent years, and each time I've run into significant delays, lack of transparency about the process, have been fed the requirements in a piecemeal fashion (every few days there's a new random request rather than having it all organized from the start), and have even run into lenders who were substantially misinformed about the real estate industry or the laws that govern it on both a local and federal level.I think there should be a better site to encourage accountability by tracking how long it actually takes each lender to close their loans on average, and what unexpected hurdles investors encounter when trying to work with them.I can't seem to find such a site.
