What are my options in getting my 3rd property?
Bought first house in California FHA 3.5% February 2016. Moved for job and bought second house in Georgia conventional 5% May 2017.
income
My salary income is $80,000
California rent income $2,850
Can I count the boarder income of my primary SFH residence right now ($3,200)? i will be reporting it on my taxes for 2017.
debt
California piti $1,950
Georgia piti $2,000 (yes, gross profit per month is $1,200 with only 5% down, seller covered all closing & living rent free)
car $530
student loans $350
As an investor I want the minimum amount out of my pocket. So "more down" isn't the answer for me. Wanting to buy a property in 200-300k range in Georgia with 20% down (or is it more likely it will have to be 25%? not sure which it is for investment property).
Not really sure what my options are. House has to be in that range, don't want less. My DTI is too high, unless I can count boarder income. Any ideas?
