I am looking for the fastest and economically savviest way to make my first real estate investment a successful and profitable one.

I'll go into more detail below, but I'm trying to figure out if this means the owner is earning no profits while his mortgage is being paid off.

Hello guys i need help with thisHow does the bank look at depreciation in your financial statement if your company makes good amount of profits but after depreciation and inventory adjustments kicks in your taxable net profit amount goes way down which is something help the business.The question is when you go to the bank trying to get loans for real estate investing would they consider your income before depreciation??

Im looking for another flip or 2 to roll our profits into rentals. 

I recommend finding a RE savvy CPA who can educate you and give you forward looking strategies to help you maximize your profit and tax efficiency.  

Typing it out now and thinking more about it, it would make sense that a conventional lender would still have to either see a steady profit/income of the business to be able to do something like that or just run the credentials of the person who owns the small business to make sure they could lend to that person/business anyway so it would have to show a history of profits to be able to sustain the property during times of vacancy with a track record of on-time payments.

Landlords profits are lessened and so they do not take the same care of their units as they would if they were trying to maximize profits.

I started with a property management company that basically took all the profits and mismanaged the property.

Basically paying all of the cost of solar panels + a financing profit margin, and I believe the company that does the install gets the tax credit. 

I travel a majority of the year volunteering with a non-profit organization.
