I'm continuing to hit the metaphoric pavement so to speak - reaching out to more folks until someone at least will process an application - but it seems official policy is to not process mortgages for investment properties.

I'm currently about to close on my first deal on a SFH rental and it has been a very rewarding experience and I'm officially hooked.

Ask for their expenses up front, but then make the offer contingent on verifying expenses on official tax records. 

At that moment, ownership of the property officially transferred to me, and I received the keys.After the purchase, I got to work setting up the property for Airbnb rentals.

The auctioneer website says the following: Please provide a letter of credit from your banking institution on official letterhead signed by bank officer/employee.

No official letters/records to prove that though. 

Jerome isn’t an elected official, and he was appointed initially by a Republican.

Most I know will agree that tax's are too dang high, but it's out of their control, they have 0 to do with that.If people want to actually get results on property tax's, gotta find out what agency / elected official is the one who DOES control that measure and action.

A link to the official legislation would be helpful because I believe people are getting mixed messages from different sources. 

Now is when the fun began.The owner told me that the property needed a little work and he wouldn’t be able to officially sell for a few months, or until the work was completed.
