first time investor (self employed/1099)

[Jordan Charles]

Hi everyone! Hope you all are reaching your full potential in real estate. I have been working as a real estate agent (1099/ self employed) in NYC for the past 2 years. I finally decided to start investing and to use FHA. I want to focus in Orlando, Fl. The issue is when I called Quicken Loans they told me that since I am self employed it would be hard for me use FHA in anther state because I haven't showed income there. I've also tried using my cousin who lives in Florida and I would be the co signer but they said cousins cannot be considered as co-signers. Is there any solution to this dilemma? I really want to use FHA for Orlando
