Friendship and business don’t always mix well, so it’s critical to use a solid lease and treat this as a business arrangement.

My significant other and I decided to use a builder she had done business with in the past.   

Here are 3 practical strategies that might help you take your investment business to the next level.1.

When you say "we," are you speaking about your business or your personal tax returns, or does your business flow into your personal returns because you file as a sole proprietor?  

Make sure you talk to a Banker or Loan officer that is well versed in both SE (Self Employed) income and also Non/QM programs.One tip I will give you as a Banker is open up a "Business Checking account" and for the next 12 months pay "Everything" out of that account. 

I've been in a co-living mastermind for a year, but I'm curious how you set your business up.

When I asked for a loan, they asked if my business received money in Euros. 

Cash flow is where businesses really shine.

Make it part of your business model and focus on scaling vs managing.

Unfortunately, the only guarantee in this business, or any business really, is there are no guarantees of outcomes... ever.
