I believe most lenders will only consider the income from your own business or rentals after 2 consistent years.

My list consisted of 2 vehicles....a nice work truck like i have now and a car which is a nissan 370z. which for those of you who don't know is a sports car that can be had for 20k or less which is pretty humble considering there are corvetts and such rolling around town for 100k or more. then there was the house. a cabin out in the woods and a little garage. a few more odds and ends but that was basically it.

While I'm learning a lot of about the investment side, please use me as a resource on Fair Housing best practices and risk mitigation (disclaimer: not an attorney!).

First, maintenance really consists of 2 things.

I've come to realize just how important it is to consistently grow your list of quality contractors.

But would it be bad practice to already get to know sellers beforehand?

What're some best practices when looking for a sponsoring broker or at least one that will "supervise" me at the start?

My focus is consistency with both units. 

If you're able to actually use BRRR, as he suggests, the pace could be even faster and more consistent.

As far as underwriting deals, you just need to practice and maybe run your numbers by someone that has some experience, especially for your firs deal.
