Their character, their payment record, how well they take care of you property, etc all these things are for you to discover with your tenants and build trust between each other. 2. when it comes to screening, you must check their credit, their paystubs, their employer and landlord references, their criminal background, I also get a copy of everyone's photo ID.3.

Quote from @Richa Wardhan: Regular lender financing, we have paid off 70% of our mortgage on the primary residence so we were loaned money without any issue. 

After that is returned, I do a background check through Transunion or a similar service. 

I use my license for multiple activities: Of course- comps, when buying and when selling, tax data- to see what I am about to pay when i own the home ( for long term holdings), check the DOM (days on the market) for the subdivision I am either buying on, or when I plan on selling, etc. 

I'll check out the MCT loan.

I've bought a ton of homes pre-foreclosure and at auction, happy to be a resource on that stuff, plus we just launched Bid Pirate, which is the one place online for NH, where you can see all the upcoming foreclosure auctions in one spot - you can learn a lot from the regulars at the auctions........ get after it, sister!

Pretty much think of a commercial loan process as a residential loan process backwards.Lenders do go off the income of the property, but they also do check out the purchaser...3 years tax returns and a personal financial statement. 

I'll check them out for sure. 

I tend to agree that we could be over leveraging ourselves and your comments are a good reality check but I did not paint the whole picture. 

It’s flexible—you can invest in rentals, commercial properties, or syndications—but managing it requires careful attention to avoid prohibited transactions.In comparison, a SEP IRA offers tax-deferred growth, which might be better if you expect a lower tax rate in retirement, but it doesn’t avoid UDFI tax on leveraged properties or allow borrowing.Before investing, check if SDIRA Wealth aligns with your goals and review their track record.
