In my case, I was discussing a non-owner occupied scenario with the LO so in my case this particular example would not trigger a breach.

My issue is pulling the trigger on the properties in the city.

***I also did a 0.5 mile search and the average sale price is (4bed/2bath) is $88000 (I didn't take into consideration the finishes, I'm not your realtor) Average days on the market is 122days (probably be longer now that we going into Xmas).

I know there was an appraisal in 2002 for $1.2M, but property values in that neighborhood have dropped considerably since then.

Maybe a different mentor is needed or maybe getting your RE license or getting a job with a RE company should be considerations.  

So in your professional opinion, If I take into consideration that if I hired an employee, their salary reduces my net income thus reducing my taxable income, how much does a 15 dollar an hour employee really cost me?

I would appreciate your consideration to manage any properties you may have in Tacoma and the surrounding areas.

If they have mortgages and you QCD them into an LLC you may trigger the due-on-sale clause of the mortgages.

So what’s keeping many business owners from pulling the trigger?

And also, similarly, I have spent the last year reading, listening, getting my real estate license, and waiting until I felt ready to pull the trigger.
