Thanks for the reply, i think it may not be worth it after all, may I ask did you use a calculation app to come up with the mostly payments, if so, care to share it with me.

I will be a 1st time home buyer , when getting a loan from a bank how do i show them proof of income from my 1099 form/s. I work at my brothers business as a independent contractor ,  he has an accountant for this business is necessary for him to to this job or i can do it myself.

Im located in Phx,Az, have access to MLS recently i noticed under the sold section there is a lot (more than before) homes being sold below asking price and some in cash, anyone know whats going on, Im currently looking for a home so i guess this is good for me.

Congradulatlions!,  it helps tons when you know someone like your husband that knows how to flip and work on a home himself, a lot of people myself included have no connections at all to flip a home and it could be daunting just thinking about it.

Did you get your asking price of $299.633?

How long did it take to flip your home  to be ready to sell?

How fast did you sell it ?

Do you mean you put $4k down?, if that was your purchase price and only put $10k to rehab , where did you find this gold mine in 2019!

During the mortgage crisis i worked as a loan officer for a very short period , in that time frame i saw how shady that part of the business was, customers where signing documents blind and for that very reason most lost their homes, everyone was taking full advantage of the situation and trying to get a wealthy as fast as possible before the party was over.

What i dont like working with loan brokers/officers is that there is a lot of jargon in their paper work that they only understand , i wouldnt want to get stuck in bad mortgage deal .

I live in Phx,Az , where should i apply for a mortgage loan first at my local bank (wells fargo) or use a broker, a lot of people here tell me to start with my bank as they have all my info, if i get pre approved anywhere i wouldnt be committed/obligated to go along with the deal right ?

Planning to purchase in Phx,Az and surrounding areas, my equifax score is 700, experian 645,no debt whatsoever, have 1099 for 2022 and 2023 (required 2yrs), on my 1099s it says i make 135k per year, do not have tax returns (yea, yea), im planning to first start with my bank wells fargo.

This would be my first home and at 1st plan to live in it, possible house hack, going for a -$300k loan. should i go traditional, fha , i plan to be on a fixed rate so I dont get surprises later on.

In my situation, what down payment amount do you think will be needed .
