The materials used in making these drive the quality and the cost;  - Particle board (and there are different grades of this) is the cheapest  - Plywood is better (again different grades)  - Solid Wood is best (and again different types)Water is the enemy of wood in general and cabinets specifically due to humidity and leaks so I prefer solid wood frame with plywood decks / shelves.

I am primarily looking in the Falls Church/Arlington/Alexandria areas, but have also kept my eye on a few places in Fort Washington MD.My question is if I can partner with a "money" partner to qualify for a larger/higher quality purchase.

That's why it's so rare for anyone to say "well, I was qualified, but then rates went up, so now my purchasing power is reduced."

I mean it's equally beneficial to both of you to get someone else in there... why not put the pressure on him to market it and find a qualified tenant (the same quality that they are).

I think the reason they gave me was I wouldn't qualify because of my debt to income. 

You may qualify for the small taxpayer safe harbor depending upon the property basis and your total repairs and improvements on the property.

If I add him to the ownership right now would he be considered for the full $250k single reduction or would I have to wait two years to qualify for the full $250k?

Im a stickler for the rules though for a few reasons....BP gives me a very public presence....Ive served on my boards grievance/ethics committee...and my broker is the chairman of the state real estate commission. 

To accomplish this, GF had to position themselves as a RegA+ Tier II qualified funding portal under the JOBS Act which by law limits the amount they can raise to $50mil/year from non-accredited investors.Brian recently stated that as of now the company's only source of revenue is origination fees which range from 2 to 4%.

The brother who lives on the property was boarding it up yesterday in an attempt to keep her out, but chances are good that won't work and she'll get back in.3.
