If you want the real deal on how your Section 8 applicant is going to be in your property stop by where they are living now and ask if they have a checklist for the inspection.

I am mostly just trying to discover any tips or tricks or identify any strategies that I could potentially be missing out on.

Hey @Christian Hanus, LLC are passthrough entities for tax purposes (unless you elect to do c corp which is not applicable here) So you hiring yourself to do your own renovations really doesn't do anything material.

I large assignment could potentially turn a seller off 

I have a spreadsheet of how profitable I am going to be with the deal and these are the numbers: 245k purchase price, 20% down (49k) 7.2% interest giving me about $1,330 payments, looking at neighboring rentals with the same layout and interior I can potentially rent it for $2,200 hopefully but I expect the worst. 

The topic of tenants using fake id online is concerning and poses potential risks.

I’m looking to buy it as an owner occupied primary residence while living in another state but I am open to moving if it is required.Yeah, it's mortgage fraud to make false statements on a loan application or to leave out material information.

The proposed changes would allow a duplex, triplex, or fourplex to be a (P) Permitted use in all single-family zoning districts: With Reno's significant land constraints and overall lack of inventory, I believe ADU's could potentially provide more affordable housing for tenants while allowing investors to be more creative with their properties. 

I have a potential opportunity but all the learning courses/modules I can find don't really touch upon this (for good reason maybe). 

You can also browse real estate platforms like Zillow or Realtor.com for potential listings in your desired area.
