lol tell them yeah i was lying to you 

I see, which offer letter?

And I see so it only needs to be the same industry if that’s what you went to school for

I worked in restaurants and made like 20k last year while finishing 42 units in community college, I start university in fall

And from my understanding it doesn’t matter if I only made 20k the first year it would just matter how much I make or projected to make at the current job I go to next

I was thinking of putting off uni and just working all year to get approved for a decent one out of state, however not exactly sure if this is the best move because financial aid will give me 6 grand for the 4 months of college

I’ve been applying to different restaurants in hopes of keeping it in the same line and working full time with tips would bring in 50k on paper, however there are just so many other applicants so I haven’t gotten one yet. I don’t want to waste any more time so I’m trying to sign up at this temp agency for 17.50 an hour full time. Would love to ask some specific situations I’d love to get into my first house hack.

I have 2 years work history if different industries count for sure and im also going to get a lot of money from selling my moms house in a few months how ever that is not going to count if I were to do it any time soon

How about getting approved though?

I seem to need to have one more year of the same industry work history and its 5 times my annual income of my next job gaps in between okay but not separate industry as far as i know 

hello, i am really interested in buying my first rental property, and i want to start off with something small around 60-80k. i would like to convince my dad to co-sign it with me, but he has fear of not being able to rent it out. assuming i priced it alright or slightly under value, what are the odds of my property (assuming in a decent area) goes vacant for a super long period  of time?.. he is also very worried because of everything going on with a pandemic, but he has fear that if i buy it it will just not rent out but i tell him it's not true, what is the truth surrounding this field?
