@Lynnette E.

They wake up at 10AM and check e-mail for all their offers.

A real provider ideally owns the home first (NOT A LISTING) then they renovate it all in-house.

Approximately 0.00% of my clients with $3,000,000 or $5,000,000 in personal mortgage debt have the day-job income to support it, half of them had a conversation with me where I went over what choice to pick for Schedule E in cases where your CPA gives you a choice between a few options that are all allowed by the tax code.If you are buying cashflow positive real estate, your DTI will actually go down over time.

On schedule E would we write it off as “Mortgage interest paid to banks” or “Other interest”?

If you really want a condo, downtown would ideal as you can only buy condos there so you are not competing with single family homes.

@Kevin Romero - Here is my "starting up" collection:Read ideal-vs-desperate-investor (http://greeneincome.com/index.php/2018/10/29/ideal-vs-desperate-investor/)Read Dave Ramsey book "The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness." and complete the baby steps there.Read Scott Trench’s book “Set for Life.”Finish the school and get your degree - you'll need it later, especially if it's business management.Get a job first where you have W2 income.

Nice to e-meet you!

Ideally, they should own the property first, renovate it in-house, place a tenant prior to closing, and then manage it for you after the purchase. 

Not that it would benefit investors, but I am not able to do "ibuyer offers" through OfferPad if the situation fits.Looking to get involved in the local REIAs so ideally it would be somebody already involved in the local REIAs..thanks and looking forward to it!
