Next week will be my first vacation in 2 years (yay) and if all goes well with this last buy, my husband will be joining me in the self employed world.  

I have been self employed and don't prove the income necessary for a bank to loan me the money.

I had started planning to do a consignment store online for plus size women but that fell to the wayside a few months back.

Multi-family properties are the best for buy and hold in Bakersfield because the price per square foot is lower then a comparable single family home (so they are cheaper to purchase) but you end up getting a lot more rental income because instead of collecting $1000/month on an average sized house, you collect three monthly rents of $700/month for an average sized unit in a triplex.  

Next, I would look into other more broad categories such as job growth, capitalization rate movements, demographic shifts, education levels, dependence on certain industries (regarding employment), public transportation, city development programs, etc.Regarding unemployment, I think there's a catch to low unemployment.

For your 6k per 4 unit capex what is the upgrade level and size of your property?  

Put in a lowish offer and find tenants with good credit scores, clean backgrounds, not temporary employment, good references.Other questions: - If all goes well I could refinance into a conventional loan with 20% down after the seasoning period or about a year.

Hi Dennis, in general the owner of the real estate that has been remodeled/retrofitted to meet certification standards for assisted living should be able to lease the property for 2-3X fair market rent of a comparable sized house.

Hello, I am a newly-formed single member LLC, and am planning on electing s-corp status to avoid self employment tax.

What size is the lot?
