Unfortunately, since I have only owned the properties for less than one year, the rental income is not on any of my prior tax returns, therefore conventional lenders are not viewing this as actual income yet.

First step is viewing the properties with my contractor.

I viewed my first MFR yesterday a Duplex which is currently rented with long term (10+years) tenants at $600/unit.

I'm curious to hear from those who moved from investing to what they would now view a business. 

View anything you are interested in prior to purchase.

When I have nothing better to do, I get out and talk to people, and view homes to see what is trending.

You can call on these ads and view their units to compare them to yours and try to get an idea of how long it has sat vacant. 

However I have a contrarian view..

I have spent a little time on YouTube to learn different point of views about real estate.

I have talked to enough attorneys regarding activities of being a licensed real estate agent and how the Bureau of Real Estate in Sacramento views unlicensed activities.Either get your license or have a licensed agent - broker in your LLC, that's my advice, if you are doing  lease option Dios, subject to deals, or wraparound AITD deals.For cash deals, no license needed.
