Ideally I know private money is best so I would pursue that first.

@Carlos Contreras ideally you’ll want to find a property that has split utilities, but it all depends on what is norm in your area.

@Michael DeLaMarre same here ideally I really want to get into a brrrr to hold as rental but still new to investing as for now doesn't have the knowledge or the resources to get into one hopefully thru bp community I can get into one soon. 

I did not abuse this.. but we did have a customer service rep that handled our account and she would do a date down on the computer verbally to me.. 

@Ryan ClearyYou are not necessarily taxed on "cash flow", you are taxed on taxable rental income.some differences between cash flow and taxable rental income.Principal payments lower cash flow but do not lower taxable incomeDepreciation does not lower cash flow but lowers taxable incomeRegarding how much you should put away for taxes, the ideal situation is $0 but only your accountant can answer that.That is dependent on what federal and state tax rates you are in and what your net taxable rental income is.

Ideally you extract all of your investment at the time of the refinance, but I realize that is not easy. 

At that point, having money, ideally passive streams of income, becomes VERY important. 

Lastly they'll look at your credit history, the length, score, DTI ratio, etc. ideally you've had a credit card, small auto loan, anything that shows you're a worthy borrower.

If there's key information missing or some of my assumptions are wrong, just make some up.This is my first post - I tried googling this.As I wrote this I realized: -individual homes are normally custom built with the intention for the owner to live and enjoy that house, so a lone house being built to sell is unlikely. housing developments add scale

And I've never had a bad deal or a pixx off customer.
