A lot of people going in and forget that if they do not have experience in rentals with proof on a schedule E than they cannot use the projected rental income as qualifying income to qualify.

For those without e-mails (or refuse to give them to me), are there other payment systems I can use? 

Also having two mortgages will also give you a good tax deduction on your Schedule E at the end of the year.

Maybe has something to do with the e=areas he's hitting or how he's targeting.

You can get on the e-mail list if you search for RING Baton Rouge on the MeetUp website.  

If you're ever back in the Killeen area we have bigger pockets meet up every other Friday at Big Bobs Burgers in Killeen @ 6pm. 3921 E Stan Schlueter Loop, Killeen, TX 76542

@Dave E. - thanks for the tip Dave!

Also, check your local library for what app they use-- you can check out many of these suggested e-books and listen to audiobooks for free (from the library!)

@Nathan G.Might want to read through IRC Sec 4975, particularly Sec 4975(e)(2)(G) therein...Brian is the expert here, listen to him.
