Hello All,I own a couple of businesses in Oregon.  I have set up a tax strategy that doesn't show a lot of income.  The company is plenty successful, but because lenders are looking at tax returns I don't qualify for ...

We do about 80,000 direct mail pieces every for our plumbing, heating and construction company, but we send powerful mail pieces that contain about 80,000 5 x 7 magnetic calendars and 80,000 credit cards.

And then you've got the clause about how I'm not responsible if the TV goes out or if your power gets shut off (as tenants pay for their own power at my units).Really, though, if you have a drive to take on the responsibilities of a landlord, that drive should propel you to be the best landlord that you can.

We've easily done 30+ transactions using this powerful strategy.
