“But one of the smartest strategies of the world class is doing what they love and finding a way to get paid for it.”On the other hand, middle class take jobs they don’t enjoy “because they need the money and they’ve been trained in school and conditioned by society to live in a linear thinking world that equates earning money with physical or mental effort.”I would have taken the risk and started my own business like I considered after college instead of taking the first job offer that came along.

This is where I put all my expenses for technology, utilities (cell phone), training, licenses, etc...these expenses can't be tied directly to a specific property.

I am scheduled for a couple webinars and local meetings this week and my real estate license training Thurs - Sunday.  

I did the Marketplace Homes "6 Years Guaranteed Rent" program and moved out to Knightdale.

I suggest CCIM training, and  @Frank Gallinelli's book:What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow...

Right now houses are cheap, money is cheap, and there are tons of assistance programs so we are likely to not see any major increase in home purchases as primary residences in the near term, and in fact if the market becomes tighter in terms of inventory, lending restrictions become tighter, or interest rates rise then most people would expect a decline in the number of home purchases as a primary residence. 

That income can be used but its an isolated circumstance.The only program on conventional that allows the use of boarder income outside of the exception i mentioned above is MCM- My community Fannie Mae but it requires the borrower make under the area median income (depending on county) and has no other properties owned at the time of funding.I work with many investors who house hack on the lending end and have personal experence in house hacking as Brandon would call it. 

So often times newer note investors likely do not qualify for lending programs that do take loans as collateral.
