I think in this environment lenders are changing requirements, guidelines, and product availability daily.

My ultimate goal is not using my savings during this process, because I want to train myself from the onset to think creatively and not deplete my reserves instead of finding a better deal or more productive relationship.

Don't change jobs or income yet.Once you do and you think you can manage the payments based on your new income, maybe once you get the rooms rented.Then if you want to switch there are plenty of opportunities.

Then I think I will buy my first out of state property once I'm ready.

But I think it has more to do with how different individuals handle what is technically an invasion of their space and privacy.

Rather than just grinding for the next deal, I’ve put more focus on surrounding myself with the right people—those who challenge me, push me to think bigger, and share similar values.
