These loans are based on a property’s rental income rather than your personal income, making it easier to qualify as you expand your portfolio.Networking and Mentorship:You’re already off to a great start by reaching out here!

More due diligence and follow up, does this person have a job that's consistent for at least a year?

Is 10-15 miles too big of an area when determining the unit count per person?

@Pranita Maldikar Unless the seller is a family member or personal friend, I'm not sure why you'd want to put that much money down on the property.

I can think of a few BP-specific cases where the ability to delete a post makes sense:Noobs don't usually get the '@' feature right the first time, so I am constantly seeing double-posts so that they can properly call out the person.  

I've personally utilized private notes on three transactions and participated in another handful of negotiations with sellers on behalf of buyers in the past five years. 

If you need more to do the rehab, perhaps instead of partnering, you could get your former boss to do a personal loan. 

Initially I didn't have a personal connection to the area and didn't know much about the city.

Unless you revise your plan and ensure that your personal use is under 10% of the rental use.

Sounds like the person knew what was going on with their credit report as they have filed reports in the past.
