@Ricardo Polanco barely qualifies as a lease:(This "lease" leaves you open for a lot of abuse and we don't suggest trying to terminate it on your own - or you may get an EXPENSIVE lesson from a judge!

This question has come up a few times with prospective clients recently, so I thought I'd shed some light on it.Generally, being an employee in a real estate business does not automatically qualify you for REPS unless you own at least 5% of the employer.

You may be able to qualify for FEMA funds?

The leverage is a little lower and rates may change, but a DSCR is still possible provided you qualify.

If one is going to spend money on training learning how to present qualify and CLOSE is the skill agents need.

if you qualify, using the VA for a small multi opens up more opportunities as an asset vs investing in SFR.  

You can use that income to reduce your DTI and be able to qualify for a higher mortgage, if necessary.  

Down payment can be higher than primary, but the good thing is that you won't need that much income to qualify because lenders can you 75% of the market rents for the units of the property.

The items you mention MOSTLY qualify.

If the remedy was designed by a qualified professional, the work carried out be an experienced contractor, the work was permitted and inspected by the town, then the value reduction would be zero.
