Hey Bigger Pockets,

Here’s the situation.

 Investor A - is moving (09/2022) to Joshua Tree CA. from out of state and intends on purchasing a property to occupy for approx. a year and then rent. Investor A has qualifying income but bad credit (<580) and approx. 4% of the purchase price available for a down payment.

Investor B - is looking to purchase an investment property out of state. Investor B does not have qualifying income but has great credit (>700) and approx 10% of the purchase price available for a down payment  

How do these two investors partner to make this deal work??

@Gavin Welch I would absolutely love to.

Hello @Mike DeBuccio Jr. I currently live in the Lakeland area and am looking to get involved in real estate investing in this area. My wife and I are currently looking to buy our first house with the intention of doing a live-in flip. Lakeland is an amazing community and rapidly growing. Forbe's Magazine ranked Lakeland/Winter Haven in the top 20 fastest growing cities in the U.S, alongside several other central Florida cities. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/samanthasharf/2017/02...)

Needless to say, I am new to Real Estate investing and looking to learn. I'd love to connect in the future as you get started with your investing in Polk.

@Jamin Solomon Thank you so much! I will definitely keep that in mind!

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I am super excited to get involved. 

Hello, My name is Cody Menefee. I grew up in central Kentucky near Lexington, but moved to Lakeland, Florida in 2014 for college. I attended Southeastern University where I studied Elementary Education (but never finished). I am currently an admission counselor for the University. Shortly after I arrived in Florida I met my wife, we have been happily married for 8 months. I am seeking to invest in small multi-families unit in the Lakeland, Florida area. I.e. Duplexes, Triplexes, and Quadplexes. My goal is to buy and hold, or at least BURRRR. Would love to chat and learn!
