This site is great if you are looking to invest into real estate, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, crypto, or tax and legal guidance.

Read a little and educate your self on some of the terms and investment strategies and then "GO"  My favorite strategy and the most that I help my investors with is the BRRRR method.

I’ve successfully helped investors from out of state connect here in Columbus Ga with my self and Realtors, to acquire several properties, and successfully manage them.

I've been self-employed all my life, which means I was also a stay at home Dad. 

I've also worked with smaller credit unions that can close a self employed person in 22 days...pretty impressive but certainly there are good lenders out there who can do it.  

The property has an out house and a self sufficient basement that I could potentially rent out.

In this case you may be best served by investment through your self directed retirement account, or a trust, or even in your personal name.If on the other hand you intend to operate as a dealer in notes, or have outside investors providing capital, or enter into loan origination, you would probably want to form an LLC or even a Series LLC.

Yup, totally.2) Newly self employed folks that had an amazingballs year 1, but year 2 isn't done so they can't get a normal mortgage.

This is a great forum with very knowledgeable members that will help to guide you in the right direction, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.

And the “I’m marketing a contract, not a house (when assigning) defense” doesn’t work.
