Hello,I was curious about the possibility of obtaining a mortgage as contract worker, if any of you know a way to get a mortgage in my current situation please let me know.My situation:Age: 23 graduated college with BS in Mechanical EngineeringJob: Working as a Mechanical Engineer at Western Digital through a contract agency (5 months in), I will start my second 6 month contract period in late February.

I have two paths forward to get my first deal done, and I'd love to tap into the collective wisdom of the BP community for feedback.Option 1: Buy my own small multifamily (2-4 units)However, it's been difficult to find actual "deals" and candidly I haven't put in the effort to go all out, with direct mail, digital ads, out of state owners, etc. mostly just working with brokers and looking at the various online sources. 

@Lucas Carl You can use a digital lockbox that you can reset the code for after they leave.

Luckily, I'm a digital hoarder and had a scan of it.

My 9-5 is in digital marketing and we remind clients all the time that landscape is better for the web so that's a "duh" moment for me.

I personally will not use income approach to value until I am at double digit units.

When it is triple digits, a prudent landlord supplies window units/portables or puts them up in a hotel (or airbnb) for the night. 

Many in West Coast bet the two digits (%) appreciation will be last forever. 

They can change their 10 digit access code down to a 4 digit 'short code' with instructions provided.

Finally, I would recommend digitalizing the check in process so guests can let themselves in without anyone having to go there.Once all that is done and you get some momentum, give your house a name and create a simple website to get direct bookings which will be slightly less expensive than the 3rd party sites you are on.
