    Hey @Aaron Sal. Welcome back to the site. If you're looking for information on home buying with low income, we'll need a little more information to make more concrete suggestions. For now, I would suggest looking into house-hacking if you haven't already.

    Assuming you will owner-occupy the property, you can purchase a small multi-family building with an FHA Loan at 3.5% down and allow your renters to cover your mortgage. The same strategy could apply to a large, multi-bedroom house as well.

    For more information on loan particulars and finding out if you qualify, I would start walking into banks and speaking with mortgage brokers.

    For networking, keep an eye on the networking events tab 

    (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-an...) @Kevin C. and @Troy Fisher run monthly meet-ups in Lakewood, Seattle, and the Eastside.

    Cheers and good luck!
