All my rental proceeds go back into the rental account( I have a W-2 job now).

We’ve also acquired a three 3 family houses and used the cashflow to pay for a second home all while working my full time day job for the last 18 years.

The issue with this is that I will need to be finding a loan without a job.

My question is, with rising taxes, anti-landlord regulations, stagnant job growth, and people leaving the area, is it still a good idea to buy an investment property here?

We did a good quality job in Baltimore City. 

My wife has a full time job that pays roughly $50k but I’m the stay at home dad who’s homeschooling our kids.

Hi, I make $50k per year and have $25 thousand in savings, unfortunately I file a 1099 and not a W-2 so my question here is, what sort of hurdles would I face while trying to get started in real estate while continuing my job as an independent contractor here in Los Angeles, Ca.? 

I'm 24, I work a pretty decent job that allows me to save a bit each week after paying my bills.

- tenant paint job photos:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/535...When I used the word "high" to describe the quality of the paint job, I was referring to the state of inebriation of the tenant painter :)Reading that entire thread is a good learning activity; my initial comments on that thread start on page 4, and the person I was attempting to educate posted after that to defend allowing tenants to paint!

I have been working the job for 1 year and am interested in starting my own property management company from scratch.
