I am particularly interested in purchasing small multi and single family rental properties in Washington DC area. 

They will take more non conforming loans and lend on the cash stream of the property/ asset. 

If you're still mid-career and looking to simplify both your taxes and your business structure, I'd start looking into creating the brokerage as an S-Corp, leaving your particular earned commissions in and pulling a salary from the brokerage. 

Non-fiction - no end to what I listen to here.

My property manager is currently on vacation so I'm posting in this forum to see how others have dealt with this particular issue.Thanks!

I’m particularly looking for value-add multifamily properties, but I’m open to other options.

Hi Jonathan, I just worked with a mortgage broker who specialized in non-warrantable condos.

My problem with the 3rd (and easiest for the landlord) method is that could end up being quite a few people who don't have a chance of qualifying that end up paying a non-refundable background check etc fee. 

I'm an agent who's been heavily investigating that particular market for a foreign investor recently and I'm leaning towards either new construction or picking up a unit (townhomes) that is already updated.

I would, if my property, file a notice of non-compliance with a notice to cure or vacate.
