Buying First Property
I'm currently renting a house for one year that has 4 bedrooms and rent of $2,300 per month. It could be raised to $2,600 per month. I've been managing the sourcing of the people in the bedrooms for the landlord.
The landlord wants to sell the property for $317,000. I applied for the mortgage but didn't qualify on my own (2 years of self-employment in another business). I also don't have enough money for the downpayment.
How do I finance this and would be the best way to buy this house
Thanks!
