All of those people also get credit/background checks. 

@Amanda Bradley Tenant sounds like typical Class C with a credit score under 620.How hard was it to find this tenant?

To access your home equity without selling, you can explore options like a home equity loan, a line of credit (HELOC), or a cash-out refinance.

My first ad budget was $295.00 credit I got from my local news paper. 

Additionally, not all transaction types support Locations, meaning you'll have to create journal entries to correct them—requiring a solid understanding of debits and credits, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.Instead, I recommend biting the bullet and upgrading to QuickBooks Online Plus for each entity.

They’re now asking if the pet deposit can be refunded or credited toward their January rent to help them during the holidays.The tenant was apologetic about making this request and acknowledged it might not be typical.

I often look at them and think if they can do it, probably I can have some level of success too.Other key info I may have left out above:1) I am not in the US, and have no plans to visit or move there2) I am not a US citizen, but possibly have a credit history there (maybe none) since I attended university there many many years ago3) I am completely new to real estate - I've been reading crazily and consuming lots of content.

Run a credit/screening report on yourself.

I was working with Kiavi on a DSCR cash out refi 75% LTV on a SF home in NC that is rented to a long-term tenant.We setup the application, credit came through and the appraisal came through for both value of property and the "fair market" rental value.

Pay your vehicle loan, credit cards, etc because in 12 months all of the accounts you pay out of a business checking account will be omitted from your DTI in the future.
