primary residence advice
I'm in between housing right now with my family. We have a toddler and a dog (pit bull), so it's very hard to find a rental. We can't buy with a traditional loan for another 7 months because my boyfriend's job switched from 1099 to W2 the year before last. So, I'm trying to figure out the best long term strategy as a beginning investor. We're looking for lease options, but the market is super hot right now and people just want to sell outright. Are there other options on financing for a primary residence or any other advice?
