Travel Nurse Lending Options

[Walter Jimenez]

Hey everyone,

My significant other and I are travel nurses currently on contract renting in Redondo Beach California but we are originally from Tampa, Florida. We are complete newbies to real estate investing, but looking to make that next step toward our investment goals. I am currently enrolled in the BP rookie boot camp but have not gotten to the financing/lending portion yet. Wanted to see if anyone has any experience working with travel nurses and if there has been any trouble with getting approved for loans. We have heard so many different answers from many different people and wanted to post here and see if we could gain some more insight. Ideally, we would love to house hack and utilize an FHA loan to have extra cash in our pocket to rehab the property. Also would love to hear any advice someone has, in regard to getting started in investing especially in this economic climate. Thanks ahead of time!
