Hi guys! I'm a real estate broker in the Chicagoland area- can any lenders offer some insight on how to help first time home buyers qualify for the FHA program despite having student loan debt. A lot of my current lender referrals are not knowledgeable on how to help buyers get qualified if they look at 1% of the student repayment and therefor impacts their overall DTI.. if any lender has some insight I'd really appreciate it and I'd love to build a relationship for referrals in the future.

Hi guys-

I’m looking to build to my portfolio of lending agents to refer my clients to. As a new real estate agent I already understand the importance of developing a team of experts in all arenas of the business. I want to cater to all clients strengths and weakness and provide the best options for lenders, contractors, attorneys, and insurers. If anyone has any professionals they’d lie to recommend, or they are one themselves please let me know!

Hi!

Anyone open to serving as a mentor for a young up and coming real estate professional in Chicago!?

Hi guys!

I'm a recent licensed agent in IL, and I'm also new to the Bigger Pockets Forum. My Bf and I have already invested in a two unit using FHA, buy we are interested in purchasing another multi unit with the option to renovate and increase equity. Any advice on what to do to attain our new property without having to go through a conventional loan process and having to put 20% down.
