Can I Even Buy a Multi-Family for $100k?

[Jasmine Wilborne]

So today I found out that due to my high debt-to-income ration (61-percent) that I cannot qualify for a loan bigger than $100,000. 

That puts a damper in my vision to purchase a triplex in the next few months. But not enough to stop me. 

I live in Baltimore City and am trying to think of ways that I can overcome this sad sad truth of being a college grad making just $10k more than what my student loans are. 

Any advice? 

What would you do if you were me?
