@ Tyler Todhunter it's a shame mortgage qualification is looked at this way...I went into private practice, same profession, make more money but now self-employed. It's much better for quality of life than the school district job I left....

Hi everyone! I am newbie looking to turn real estate inventor.....I am about to leave a good solid/salaried position, have excellent credit, but NOTHING where I live is worth purchasing due to sky rocketing costs....looking to buy a rental property out of the area but feeling nervous. 

I live in a small coastal town in northern california....looking at these areas for the past year: 

Aberdeen, Wa 

Klamath Falls, Or

Coos Bay, Or 

Should I bite the bullet and get approved on a loan before leaving my job in 2 months? The clock is ticking!!!!

Or get a personal loan and buy as please without added time pressure - get loan now, buy over the summer? 

Thanks for your advice and support!
