Here is an article a wrote a while back on self-promoting during the off season as well just for your review:   https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10042/66327-5-...Best of luck and feel free to reach out directly with any questions I might be able to answer for you. 

Hello, Just want to begin to say I am a young open and very self driven person.

From your post I assume you are self employed, since you’ve been SE for over 5 years, you can get a loan using only 1 year taxes, in case your net income for 2017 is not enough, you should show your 2018 drafts to your banker Before you file to make sure you show enough.

However, it is important to recognize the risks and making a good decision, so you can move forward with confidence in your future investing.Hope this helps - this is not legal advice, simply just my personal opinion and approach to the topic.

This setup works for other businesses, but not for self-employed professionals.

Long Distance Self Managers! 

I’m interested/ leaning about commercial multifamily, mobile home parks, and self-storage.

Bigger Pockets is a great self investment and I am appreciative of it.

The FHA "self sufficiency" guidelines make many deals very challenging.

But i have been self employed for less then a year .
