@Bob Malecki I’m new at Note Investing (I would have ended up here anyway as I don’t like any other aspects of RE and I do sub prime auto lending) but you’ve been doing this a long time, is this a natural business cycle we just have to wait out?

For example if I were looking at a property, I know I want to make $100 per door minimum in net income after all expenses including insurance, taxes, capex, maintenance, utilities, vacancy etc. 

I am paying cash so no lien holder but I still want to insure the property.

., title insurance you buy for the buyer. 

So, if I refinance at $350,000 (which is at the bottom of what I think it is worth, at 4.5% interest rate at a 70/30 LTV, $6,000 in taxes, and $2,500 in insurance, the mortgage payment is $1,950/mo and the property currently leases out at $3,550/mo. 

Despite all of this, she will still be the sole employee of her S-Corp and we are finding out that even though she is exempt from CA withholding and CA taxes, unemployment insurance, and disability insurance, that she still has to create an account with CA and file quarterly and annual tax forms.
