Facebook Work From Anywhere
I’m sure a lot of you have hear about this but if not, I’m sharing! Thought this would be a great discussion topic. Facebook is allowing a number of new hires and current employees to work from anywhere going forward (more permanently). See link to Reuter’s video  on first line of this post. But where do we think these techies might move to? Seems like a great opportunity for secondary markets. 

 Thanks @corby goade! I will ping you now with more details. 

@Filipe Pereira: Thanks so much for the reply! Options 1 and 5 would be off the table for now. I continue to pay down both the home and student loan debt. I think the LO may have taken into consideration the amount of the mortgage I am trying to get but I will check in on that. I would be in a position to put down 100k on a 200-300k loan. Sounds like finding a partner might be the best idea at this point. 

Hello! 
Newbie here. I want to buy a fourplex in California or out of state, however, am afraid that I won’t qualify for financing because last year I bought 1/3 of a $1.4 million property with family. The idea was to rent it out, however, some family members got cold feet on renting it. So, I pay 1/3 of the mortgage. We put 20% down. I also have significant student loan debt from graduate school. 

I’d like to strike out of my own and find a fourplex or higher in or out of state. I’m speaking with the our loan officer, he indicated it will be difficult because the debt load from My first investment in CA isn’t split three ways according to underwriters. I’m evaluated as if I carry the entire debt load by myself. 

Any advice you all could provide on financing options for an additional property would be great! Note: I work full time still. 

Thank you in advance and happy to connect with anyone interested in getting help looking for deals or doing anything else (learning as much as I can!).
