You should be able to qualify. They will look at your income, job history and credit as a normal home loan.

I’m sure these are great but you will learn the most on the go through your own experience. Looking for tips or best practices online, forums, YouTube was all I needed

I would try to use conventional financing on your first deal. Many investment lenders (hard money/dscr) will also charge a premium if you are just getting started as well

better not be lol. It’s a big master closet, and the tenants snuck in extra guests. One of my first stays when I started airbnb. They had a few kids sleep in the closet

My lender told me about how she uses her SBL line of credit for many of her investments. If you use it to invest in RE, could you go into detail about your experience and if you will continue to do so?
