A joke -- just like the rest of the jerks that are playing people like fools day in and day out with their "wholesaling" courses. 

The gift that keeps on giving! 

Not the 10 percent down aspect, just the whole idea that you can deduct against w-2 income without being a RE professional.

I'm ok with that.

When you select the next tenant I would certainly ensure that you have your eyes on the applications that are coming in, and ask that you are involved in the decision making process. 3x income, clean credit and background checks should be a minimum for approval, even if it takes a month or so to find someone. 

Are there any investors on here that got their GC license later on and went on to contract your own builds?

We're not afraid to put in a little sweat equity either and are experienced DIYers so I'm confident that we could greatly increase the value. 

Honestly, it's not that hard.

I am dedicated to creating environments that meet the needs of both tenants and business owners, while steadily growing my portfolio through smart investments.

I would appreciate any and all advice that fellow members here are willing to give.
