Review their management agreement.

I do not work right now and spend about 12 hours a day, 7 days per week, on learning about real estate investing with a current dream of being able to walk again someday, work,  and to contribute to my family again.I do not know why this happened but I will continue on. 

But I would spend some time and effort on marketing to find deals and not worry about w-2 because there is no way you are going to get an FHA loan anyway.

*****I DONT THINK SO - MEDICAID Is going to ask where the house went - maybe they dont catch it right away but they will - *** family didnt appear to do any estate planning - they will need to spend that money on her careThe way I can put it if the family is wanting to get out of paying - and they think spending $3-6k or whatever amount is needed for her care is too much then they need to factor in 24/7 care at $12/hr + 15% for taxes, food, utilities, rent, insurance, outside upkeep, maintenance etc and add that up for a month and they will see what a bargain ALF can be

I've also met with a developer who said he looks to "double" on every deal  - meaning he is spending 200k for land/permits/materials/labor and targets a 400K sales priceIn my area, 4 units+ is the trigger point for all sorts of additional complicated planning reviews and requirements, curbs/gutters, traffic studies, environmental reviews, etc...       

So a math example would be: buy for $100,000, spend $20,000 fixing it up, sell for $150,000, pay taxes on $30,000.

Just spend your every available moment searching and turning over every stone to find a deal. 

I can usually find nice MFs in good areas (Merrillville, Portage, etc) at 12-15 caps, but i spend good money to find the deals.

I usually search for property management companies on Google and then go to the sites of the ones with top reviews.

You could borrow up to $100K and spend it on anything and the interest would be deductible.
