The "YES' is RARE, the oddity, the exception.

It's no different than what you would be doing working a W2, except with the the bonus of being self employed and being able to take deductions and get smart with your taxes.

The only thing I don't like about Figure is it's reported as revolving debt (grouped in with my credit cards) so my credit utilization goes way up (except for with Equifax which classified it as a mortgage loan).

At this point, I would recommend having a line of credit to cover these things so you don't have money sitting in the bank doing nothing when it could be put to work.I have 33 units, no debt except for mortgages, and excellent income.

The old gravity furnaces on the other hand, I don't hate (except fo the asbestos tape around the duct work and it's not usually a problem if you leave it alone)-- They are very inefficient (60%) but there is nothing at all to break, they work even in a power outage, and they put out serious heat.

However, I have seen exceptions made on this based on compensating factors.

I have solely funded every aspect of the home with the exception of $33k that he brought for acquisition and closing costs.

Doing nothing wrong, except finding the deal.

I am fully onboard with everything, except I cannot get a clear answer on what happened to make rent drop so low.

All of it makes since to me except the beginning.
