Our biggest issue right now is severe drought and the BOR unilaterally deciding not to release water to our irrigation district this year so groundwater rechard did not happen and the water table has lowered dramatically.

Congrats on this, can't wait until you get to the closing table. 

ITIN loans are a unique kind of loan for individuals that may not have the traditional documentation needed, to obtain mortgage loan.

What I don't buy at auction, I buy at Wal Mart (linens, cookware, utensils, etc).Washer $75.Dryer $75.Stove $100.Fridge $100.2 recliners $50.Tables and lamps $50.Dining table and chairs $50.2 bedroom suites $300.2 old style televisions, free.That's $800.Probably spend $400 at Wal Mart for soft goods.Finally my biggest single expense is the Smart TV for the living room, $250.My tenants work 10-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. 

I've had applicants say they don't pay taxes, it's all under the table.

Dave, I love the show and the round table discussion format.

So that I didn't squeeze out the significant portion of potential tenants that use a realtor to find rental homes, I offered to pay a commission of one half of the first month's rent to any realtor that brought a tenant to the table that ended up renting the property.

HI Noah,So we know your goal (right now) is to be a Cash Flow Investor with $5k a month coming in the door in rental profits every month.In some areas 5 SFH's fully paid for will do this, but as an AC Tech I doubt you have enough in the bank to pay cash in full.Meaning you are limited in your efforts by what you can bring to the table as down payments over the 5 years.Just figure out how many financed properties you will need and how many down payments (and how much) you will need and that will tell you if it is realistic for you.Down, closing costs and a reserves for repairs and replacement in the rentals, as well as turnover expenses to make them ready to rent, initially and over and over.

It all depends on what you're bringing to the table.

The point is that it is unique and not easily replicated.Compare that to an Amazon business selling a product.
