How does a mortgage on a investment property effect the likelihood of acquiring an additional mortgage for a primary residence. 

My issue is I am a self employed person and not sure if they still have no income verification loans (since the mortgage bubble), like they did when I bought my current home.And I'm not very keen on the idea of buying this upcoming property with a loan when I have the funds available to purchase it outright, why pay the interest on a loan I don't really need.

@Brad JacobsonIf you obtain income for referral - you will be issued a 1099.The net income(gross after expenses) will be subject to federal tax, state taxes and self-employment taxes.Expenses that are deductible are ordinary and necessary expenses required to obtain new recruits.Renatus may issue some tax and legal strategies...but I am sure those are the same items that you can obtain here on BP for free.

I am reaching out to see if there is anyone that is currently self managing if they would be willing to meet for lunch on a weekend or coffee in the evening etc. to kind of run me through the process of how to get a property ready to rent. 

The simple version is we are considered “self pay” when we go to a doctor or specialist.

We currently own one SFH that is rented out that we self manage.  

The difference in your bank account balance between paying a property manager 11.67% (10% of gross rents plus 20% lease fee) and managing the property yourself when buying one 20% down rental property (in Northern Colorado) over 40 years is:If you invest the difference in the stock market and could get 8%, the difference becomes:If you're saving for a second purchase, it delays when you can buy that second property which further compounds the effect of property management fees on your overall net worth.And doing the full Nomad investing model, it is pretty significant differences.I am going to write a whole book about the impact on various investing scenarios.

What has been the most effective marketing strategy for you? 

Shiloh your self funding sell your own note as i have stated is not something to be talking about its not a note that should be taken to the public its a highly risky self serving transaction that anyone in the note business would understand and not get within 50 yards of .

Are any of you contributing to a self-directed IRA?
