(You don't want to make Google mad.)Social media is a great way to drive traffic to your site.

It’s located in one of the roughest areas in town where tenants are usually on social assistance.

It is the only entity structure whose rules allow the business owner to take a “reasonable salary” (subject to social security and medicare) and then take the remaining profit (often as much as 50% of the remaining income) out as distributions not subject to self-employment taxes.

Welcome to BP Levi, great to see more Canadians joining in.A couple of other expenses to consider aside from the mortgage and property tax would be the property insurance, property management (even if you are going to self-manage its good to add it in), city utilities and gas/hydro/water if it's not going to be billed back to the tenants.

Can anyone recommend how a Canadian investing in the US through a US LLC/C-Corp could build up their credit score for the sake of qualifying for mortgages? 

My knowledge is limited as a Canadian entering this market, and having spent no time there at all. 

Also, when I say skill set, it needs to be something that will directly help their business, examples include developing and implementing a social media marketing program for their company, being a deal finder with a concrete plan of how you can find them off-market opportunities, being skilled in excel-macro VBA programming such that you can automate and improve their underwriting process.

(I am not getting anything but names from the seller---he is very sloppy) 1) What info should I obtain—was planning to get full names, work info, phone (the obvious stuff). 2) In terms of social security numbers, do I have to explain to them why I am asking for this?

I asked on the 18th if they had the balance of the rent and was told no (mother's social security issue).
