I'm getting some grief from the local Housing Office due to their failure to understand complex real estate title holding strategies and the IRS TIN Matching program.1) The Housing Office wants to know who the owner of a property is by supplying a copy of the deed.2) They want to match the SSN/EIN of the owner for 1099 purposes using the IRS TIN matching service.Easy, right?

We know many of the agents representing these buyers and they have confirmed that they are private equity funds that have recently raised significant capital for the purpose of buying rentals in a few specific markets.That said, Atlanta has a lot of investors, and I'm sure there are hundreds of local cash buyers who are buying 5-10 properties per year; the big players comprise a small percentage of the total buyers, but probably comprise more than 50% of the total cash purchases the past year.Also agree that they aren't (just) buying new houses.

We only lend to a business entity for a business purpose- period.

For cash flow purposes you can probably find places within walking distance that are 3/1 for less than $100k with rents between $1k - $1.2k.Scott

If the home is worth $30,000 and is for investment purposes.
