The tax statements will give you an indication of the revenue, which will imply occupancy and collections.I include something in the contract that the Seller will provide reasonable documentation to support financing of the deal and that is a contingency to close.

I wouldn't even bother asking you for paystubs, because we aren't going to consider what you claim you make ($1.2/month), nor are we going to consider your stated YTD earnings (unless it indicates declining income).Ballpark, so as not to bore you with too much minutiae: We're going to look at what you told the IRS you made when you filed your taxes, and do a 2 year average (1 yr if most recent year shows declining income).

The consumer protection laws of Virginia have zero bearing on a legal issue faced by an individual one state away, let alone on the other side of the country.

Also, yeah...Each individual market have their own cycles.

I am new to the Bigger Pockets Community and interested in networking with like minded individuals in the greater Houston area. 

Surrounding your self with like mind individuals, is the key to success.

I have been investing for a couple of years now, and with all thanks to God, my business is growing, so I am looking to incorporate driven individuals into my business model to handle the increased workload.

They generally take good care of the home and I am able to find a new tenant with 1 week of vacancy or less.They will stay longer than the two individual roommate types, which are also okay.

These are credit stressed individuals that are still good people looking for a home..  

I think bigger pockets is awesome for connecting like-minded individuals.
