Unlike passive rental income, the income from an active trade or business is subject to self employment tax (a nasty 15% tax commonly referred to a "social security and medicare" by working folks).

Get on all of the local businesses social media pages and get a feel for the vibe of the community.  

Are there any landlords out there with a good running list of tenant proof materials, products, tips, etc. they try incorporating into all their rentals?

Also, get in touch with some community volunteer work, or social groups that way you too can learn how to build your database in the area.

Before closing, the title company asked me for proof the note had been settled, which I provided.  

Website, social media, craigslist ads, phone scripts for buyers and sellers, buyer and seller questionnaires, and started to sign up for re meetings.

Which and how social media outlets are you using for your wholesaling business?

The following are a few things that I am hoping to get from the community 1) Communal support as I try to walk down the bumpy road towards a asset growth2) Networking opportunities (who would have guessed its hard to find a new friend when you have to work your social schedule around family commitments and bed time)3) An opportunity to make a dealThanks everybody! 

Friends, family members, co-workers (current and past), neighbors, and anyone else in your sphere of influence from social and spiritual gatherings.2.

All social media is infected with fake lenders  BP just happens to do a better job of removing them..
