I would like to concentrate in the Belton/Raymore/Harrisonville MO areas as I become more established in knowledge and experience.  

If this is your first time screening tenants, you need to first establish your rental criteria.

I will start looking into which establishments would be able to provide these types of loans in my area.

Its a numbers game.  

What's the goal of establishing an S-Corp? 

Back in the game and rockin it hard.

-Real Estate is a numbers game so find a budget that makes you comfortable.

I will be retiring in 3 years from the Navy and would like to establish a steady real estate investment business by that time.

Smaller banks and commercial lenders may allow an assumption but rarely as they would rather make a new loan and an assumption may not have any new buyer's skin in the game, not a good lending practice.

I am in this venture with my Brother In Law and we both hope to establish a solid portfolio of rental properties long term.
