I’m returning to the U.S. after spending a few years overseas, and I’m eager to start my journey in real estate investing.Once I’m back, I have a job lined up with a wholesaling company where I’ll be focusing on buying houses.

If you have deep pockets, I think Austin will eventually reward you, but if you are a newbie in real estate looking to cash flow positive day one or shortly thereafter, Austin is probably not your best bet in TEXAS.  

I would not give notice to leave somewhere until I had a place lined up.

If your goal is less required documentation, DSCR is likely your best bet as most everyone as mentioned, possibly a bank statement program depending on your job structure. 

I haven't identified any specific properties yet, but was hoping to get a PM lined up so that I could bounce ideas before purchasing.

Hi Joe,Using a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on your primary residence can be a practical and low-cost way to fund flips, especially since the terms you mentioned include only a $200 yearly fee.

Its a long journey and we have all bin at the starting line but once you do it you will thank yourself.
