A Bigger Pocket member I met at a local networking event had never invested,...

So is forming an LLC and getting an EIN to set up a business checking account to receive the security deposit and collect rent payments a good idea?

Especially on an apartment building, are there any ideas of difficulty to insure?

I live outside of Pittsburgh, and have recently started investing in this area as well as the northern panhandle of West Virginia!

The investor that holds the loan is Fannie Mae any ideas to get the solar panel ( good leap ) to accept a settlement? 

I'm starting a  househacking journey and my mom will be financing the home.  

This has contributed to lower inventory as sellers are hesitant to walk away from their historically mortgage costs, but the start of the pandemic era rates is now four years ago (2020) and life events often eventually force property sales.

But I got a letter from section 8 that their portion was going up over $800 starting in June.The previous landlord never rented out the studio downstairs.

Or even rent the room out long term if I ever decided to.Just trying to get as much info from as many minds as possible before starting the process.

I’d like to start charging for applications, and screening myself, any suggestions of best way to do that?
