Hi all, trying to get a HELOC on my primary residence and having a hard time finding a bank that counts depreciation towards income

While there is plenty of information out there, there is no substitute for real connections and relationships, so thank you to everyone who is part of this community! 

I contacted the agent few times to schedule a time for me to go into the property for less than 2 hours, but he never did even he told me he would help me with it.

My thought was to 1099 the friend for her part in the projects, as well as assess how the dynamic is working between projects. 

Hello there,I am a first time "out of town" investor, looking into Pittsburgh's Metropolitan for my first deal.I focused mainly on Allegheny county mostly, but having a bit hard time focusing on one specific area.My strategy is to purchase a property for long term rentals.I was hoping to get some insights into attractive areas for first timers such as myself, with good prospects and at reasonable costs?

Which unfortunately these comments require extensive legal time which equals a lot more money.

I am a full time passive investor in real estate syndications.  

Hi, wondering if you are entitled to commission for a property and you are the buyer representing yourself, do you get the commission in time to use it toward your closing costs?

I know STR operators are having a hard time with the regulations.

Hey fellow real estate enthusiasts,I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during these times.
