We've received an excellent deal on the fairly new Yardi Genesis software and would like to make the switch.  

However, I stumbled on an excellent article outlining these requirements from a tax code and tax court perspective (http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonynitti/2014/07/09/tax-geek-tuesday-the-irs-finally-figures-out-the-real-estate-professional-rules/#699c23d84760) and it has led to a question or series of questions that I would like to pose to the community as I want this to be airtight.

There are thousand of agents in MD and also many more in America.Some  work part time, some full time, some of them good, some of them bad, some of them excellent.  

Unless you've got excellent credit, a big pile of assets, and a history of success, no bank is going to lend you millions of dollars to start.

I have excellent credit and have a full time job now.My question is how much of an issue will my lack of experience be in obtaining a loan, if I am able meet the downpayment requirements and the property also meets the loan requirements.My first investment will be a triple net or absolute triple net properties and will be looking at office,retail and multifamily units subsequently.What kind of team do I need to have in place to show that experience is not an issue for managing office,retail or multifamily units.Thanks.

Excellent point...
