Most of my note investors are like you started in rentals had a huge run up in West coast values tire of landlording cash out and then become the bank and get back to that passive investing they really want..

I worked and saved and cut my finances to the bone saving off 40% of my income each paycheck, then poof, it was gone into the down payment. 

Some investors who acquired investment properties with the intention to flip made a pivot to rental income when they found that they were not able to sell the properties at a favorable price because higher rates priced out many of their potential buyers. 3.

You need "similar" income to offset, otherwise it just carried over. 

If you had a turnkey apartment building with 5+ units the value is based on the income not comparable sales.

If you have  a owner occupied homesteaded  duplex in Texas , and you have rental income from one side , can a creditor do a forced sale on the homesteaded duplex ?

We would consider a project in the Detroit area; however, we are not passive investors, so this opportunity is not a good fit for us. 

No income No doc . 

Hi all,I believe it is common to have a situation where one spouse brings in majority of the W2 income and the other is either a stay-at-home parent, works part time, etc. and they can easily qualify as an RE professional for tax reasons.  

You’ll have some requirements to show future income, but it might be the easiest “next move.”I wish you all the best.
