@Jesse Rodriguez- Do you own the property in an LLC or other business entity? Sometimes you can file for bankruptcy for the entity and not have to file a personal bankruptcy. Cut the losses.


Hello. No the property is under my name.

Hello,

I have a property under an HML that I was gonna BRRRR instead I'm going to sell because I underestimated rehab, rents and loads of other mistakes I made. The property is still in distress and I put it on the market to sell. It's been 3 weeks and only 2 people have came to see it. I've already dropped the price once and I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop it again. I'll be lucky to pay off that HML, might end up having to pay the rest of my own pocket. This is a nightmare situation and I was wondering if anyone had tips/advice/suggestions on what to do. I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

Quote from @Zach Edelman:

A DSCR loan would solve your issue. No personal income/pay stub requirements!


DSCR is for an investment property not primary residence

Quote from @Dave Skow:

@Eric Boughner- thanks   1)  having a  non occupant  coborrower is  definitely an option....all  debt and income for you and co borrower are  factored into the qualification ratios .....your income will not be able to be counted  in the  debt/ income ratios  until you have a min of  12 months of  traveling nurse  history or back to full time RN position  ..also fyi  - your  co borrower is  equally  liable for the mortgage 

Thank you! Also I notice you said 12 months of travel nursing experience to be included in the debt/income ratio as a co-applicant. Earlier you mentioned 2 years experience for me myself to get a mortgage loan. Is it possible for me to get a mortgage after 12 months then? or is it different for single vs co-applicant? And again, I’d like to preface an FHA loan first time home buyer type program where I would like to live in the home. 

Do all lenders stick with the above requirements for a travel nurse? Is it some type of regulation? There’s not some type of lender out there that would actually look at the paychecks, bank history, maybe a letter written by me explaining how the profession works incase they don’t know? How there are tons of jobs to choose from, anywhere in the country? Does that type of thing help??

 Hey Eric,


I recently tried purchasing a primary residence in southern California. I'm also a travel RN and the problem I ran into was the stipends that we receive. Lender would only consider my taxable income for preapproval, so it was really like half of my income used for pre approval which led me to small buying power. Not enough to purchase a home in socal so I was pretty upset. I've been a travel nurse for 1.5 months. They said if my employer would writer a letter that I've been getting stipends for 12 months and will continue for 3 years then MAYBE the underwriter will consider it. My employer didn't do this for me unfortunately. I read that if you do travel nursing for 2 years then they will include the stipend money but not too sure if that's true or not. Maybe some one here will confirm to that. BTW this is for conventional loan so this is based off Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guidelines. I heard FHA (HUD) is even more strict. As of now, I'm just gonna wait another 6 months to get my two years.

@Jose Mora Try Rain City Capital. I was quoted in the 6% range


 6%? 

FHA at par is at 6% now. How many buy down points are they charging?


 No buy down points. This quote was a few months ago and it was in 6% range like 6.5-6.75%.

Hey all,

I've created a profit and loss statement but this is my first time doing this and feel like its not correct. If anyone is willing to share some feedback on it, i'd appreciate it. I'd like to use this as a learning experience. For reference, I take out 10% for PM, Capex and Maintenance then 5% for vacancy. Utilities get paid by me for the MTR but my maintenance money covers it.
