Hey how's it going, the biggest problem with not having a w-2 income is not how much you will get taxed it's more so your ability to get loans.

On the one hand, I would want someone who has experience knowing how to increase NOI on a property and see potential (maybe just working with other investors would give this ability?).

Yes, that will affect his ability to get another place.

In my experience, wifi, cable tv, views, proximity to the local attractions, and the ability to sleep 4 people are the biggies.

This has sped up my workflow considerably and I can foresee my ability to grow my rental business at a much quicker pace than I have done in the past.

Sometimes you can find the "Teacher's Edition" that will have answers and points to stress that will help in self study.Anyone with a high school reading ability can get through it just fine, if you have a question you can ask here.This is basic bookkeeping, I suggest this over a computer system approach as you'll learn more accounting I'd think, a better understanding of the underlying reasons as to why we do things the way we do.

I'm not doubting your abilities as well, Erik.

@Mark Marinaccio, the Seller has every right to ask you to remove this sentence: "Buyer shall have until the business day before COE (the “Inspection Period”), during which time Buyer will have the absolute right to cancel this Contract for any reason whatsoever, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion".Can you see that the sentence has nothing whatever to do with your due diligence, but everything to do with your chickening-out ability?

This also assumes the ability to do "cash out refis" to end up with more cash after your refi than when you started.

In the past, I rolled it into IRA's - my last custodian and favorite custodian for market-based investments was TD Ameritrade.Now that I have an REI business, I've taken advantage of the ability to open a Solo 401K account w/ checkbook control, which blows away pretty much every other retirement vehicle IMO.
