Hi, I  bought my home(Bayonne, NJ) around Dec 12 ,2016, tax for 1st quarter 2017 was already paid by previous owner, so I paid that amount in closing of home then for the remaining 3 quarters I paid via Escrow account later as part of mortgage installment. so when I got 1098 for year 2017 from my mortgage company it includes taxes for 3 quarters only, not the 1st quarter.so I how to get 1098 for 1st quarter of 2017                     also I have paid all taxes for entire year of 2018 in advance directly to city hall in Dec 2017 due to various news/rumors about federal tax changes on property taxes, so how I will get 1098 for year 2018 and when I can claim that, in 2017 or 2018, when I advance paid tax city hall have accessed for 2 quarters only, so paid twice of whatever they accessed for two quarter...Thanks

Also, they don't get as excited about REI loans, as they are more typically looking to help the Small Business Owner get off the ground (e.g. a Donut Shop, or Lavette's Account,...) at least that's what their rep told me.As for that as for that being a REI strategy, it's viable as long as your numbers are solid and you can profitably repay the loans.

So you go from a conservative account and expand into a more aggressive account once you know exactly what is working for you.

Account Closed Hi,  I work with wholesalers 

Here's more information for things to consider-https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/08/1...As for taxes, I wouldn't take any answer as gold until it comes from an accountant/CPA who does a lot with real estate (so they are up on all the laws and new rules coming out, etc.).

If not, a lot of lenders are going to require that $150k to sit & season in your account for a few months.

Closing costs for a refinance are always the same: origination charge if the bank has one, title, appraisal if one is required (usually paid out of pocket by borrower), any points for the rate if it's below par, pre-paids such as taxes and insurance for your escrow account.

We have started a joint account but probably only have enough for 5% down with these prices.
