Usually, self employed hide money by not taking a "salary" but taking a "draw" / profit share.  

Looking forward to learning from all of you seasoned investors and sharing my journey as I embark on this new adventure.

Shared internet can be hacked.

If you dont mind me asking, can you share the zip code where you have the properties in Modesto or Turlock?

@Norman Schultz hi and thanks for updating us, even though it’s been a disappointment :(As I asked earlier (2years ago) in this thread: you hear a lot of success stories about DSTs when the market is doing well…and when we’re in a downturn…it’s usually crickets.

I own a 2 story house in South Philly and it’s fully gutted.

I've never had a problem with someone who didn't want to share their opinion!

If you have any tips please don’t hesitate to share I’m always hungry for new information!

In my world, I don't ever leave a charge unpaid for more than 30 days.Maybe you can find something useful in my utility guide.HOW TO SHARE UTILITIES 101You have a property with two or more units and the utility meters are shared.

A couple other points to mention would be that someone could purchase up to 5 investment properties with this loan structure if they qualify, and that this is only available for SFR, not MF properties.It might help if I shared exactly how I personally used this portfolio loan to advance my investment goals.This is one of many unique lending options available today that is good for investors to evaluate if it fits their goals.So here is what I did:After running the numbers of putting 25% down on one investment property, I chose to purchase 5 similar properties with the same 25% down.
