And since I also work at a restaurant, which most of my wages are under the table and do not appear on any W2, they cant take my word for it.I am wondering if there is any other means of obtaining a loan that will work with me and my current finance situation, without getting to creative.

I have called everyone* that appears to be selling an investment type property or renting a property in the paper.What I always get are people who get it (REI and wholesaling in general) a little, but they are a company that holds several apartment buildings, and nothing smaller than maybe a 20 unit.OR, I get people that have a handful or 1 SFH rental, who do not get it at all.

mike i know you were there once and it appears you are doing very successful.

How you hold isn't going to impact your taxes (generally) and may make your tax filing more complex, and seller financing is going to make it complex enough.If I were starting out now I "might" set up LLCs and use one LLC for every 3 properties, but I might just do it the way I've always done it.Good luck and welcome aboard.Depending on your state law you may find that outright sales, with low down and easy qualifying, are easier to do than L/Ps.all cash

I was only pointing out that the reality of these techniques is quite different than they appear in seminars and bootcamps.Let's be clear about this "WIN-WIN" concept that is perpetuated by some of the gurus.

apple all the way. so much faster, reliable, easier etc.better value and they can run all the same programs without all the headaches.i have a G5 tower and an ibook laptop for my wife. love both of them.

I do think a staged out sells easier though than a baron one.

However on the surface it certainly would appear that way.I'm certain that you spend a large sum of money each year advertising to attract customers to your agency and I congratulate you on the job you did as I was initially attracted to your agency.

Thank you to all of you who contribute to make the road for all of us noobs a little easier and less rocky.
