Hi @Diana P. 

Yeah I would check with many different lenders to see how you can use that to your advantage. But outside of programs that are out there that doesn't do a whole ton for your terms of your mortgage. Unless you plan on living, or "living" there. :) 


 Thanks Nate! :)

Quote from @Lien Vuong:

Yes thats no problem as long as you plan on residing there. FWIW, your husband also would qualify for that program. First time buyer program is a misnomer and is avail for people even if they own another property. 


 Ah I see wanted to make sure thanks! :)

Good day,

I am married and a first-time homebuyer. My husband owns our primary home and a multi-family investment property for about 10 years. I am not on the titles for these two properties. I have never owned a property, and we are thinking of buying a third and fourth multi-family residential property under my name.

Do I qualify as a first-time homebuyer?"

Good Morning,

I am a college graduate working as a personal assistant. In the past weeks I been reading on real estate investing and on becoming a real estate agent in NYC and Westchester County. I thought about using Kaplan ( https://www.kapre.com/real-estate-courses/new-york...). 

Any suggestions or advice?

I'm interested in real estate investing and also in becoming a real estate agent as well. How do I start?

My greatest strength is that I'm a bookkeeper, I invest in the market, I save most of my income and I have a excellent credit score. As of today, I have about $15,000 in mutual funds (emergency account, short term savings and Roth IRA). I make about $38,000 per year as a personal assistant but I have about $10,400 in student loans.

My best friend's greatest strength is that she studied both Architecture, Furniture Design and also has excellent credit. However, she  has about $35,000 in student loans. Would it be wise to start soon or after we are done paying off out loans?

We really want to do this but we understand that this is a long term investment & commitment . We are from NYC, would it be wise to start in NYS or out of state?
