Interesting....i wonder why no-one has raised AN obvious consideration...and that being "how do you hold title?"

Home was advertised at 3000 sq. ft. of which I took into consideration when making my offer, now I'm told it's 2700 sq. ft. and I want to renegotiate my offer.

You will want to make sure the loan was originated in consideration of SAFE Act for both the state where the property is located and the federal guidelines.

Maintaning the separate books is where the challenge comes in.If a Series cannot be formed, the fees are going to be considerable.

Afterall, we put in a considerable amount of time and effort and money to build the portfolio (not a real example).Any other strategies out there?

I get my realtor to market for a tenant4. tenant pays me consideration for option5. tenant is responsible for all repairs,6. if something major happens to the house, like a tree falls on it, insurance kicks in7.

I bought my current home as an investment, while I have no intentions on moving again ANY time soon, I bought it for the right price and should be worth considerably more for my kids way down the road, hopefully.

In other words, if you have a considerable amount of liquid assets, a lender will view you more favorably as a borrower regardless of your income situation / source.I'm local to Houston, TX and please let us know if we can ever be of further assistance!
