So Freddie Mac requires that rental income show on two years worth of tax returns for rental income to be counted toward your income, or that you have 2 years of experience as a landlord.

Will you be able to max out on FHA loans as well or do VAs count towards your FHA loans? 

You cannot count on a corporation or LLC to protect you from liability. 

Count me in.

I have personally spent time in almost every one of those outlined areas over past couple months and more times than I can count over the years.

My goal is to expand my portfolio beyond the one accidental investment property (I don’t count my residence as an investment property for obvious reasons).One of my newbie questions is if I need to start in SFH or if I can move into MF straight away?

Though we counted the rents from homes as part of the NOI, my understanding is that lenders will only count the income from the land when and if you go to get financing.  

Wrote down the address then did research on them on both zillow and the count assessors office.  

 - If we used just my income, we should be fine on amount we want for new property mortgage, but broker is also saying all properties counting against me because they are on our joint returns- to complicate things, I am looking to use a VA loan for our new primary residence mortgageCan anyone help?  

Someone said every mile you drive with it on counts because you are advertising.
