Am I giving myself another job/business?

And for sure I highly doubt those that teach the common wholesaling techinques are not up to speed with all these new laws in all the different states..

A great way to get started if you currently have a W2 job is to buy a house hack like a duplex or a fourplex where you can move into one of the units and continue to rent/manage the other units.

If it's on your credit, you are on the hook for it.However, it shouldn't effect the loan process too much, a simple Letter Of Explanation should be able to get the job done with the correct investor. 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

It's a part time job now.

Since you have work history, if you get a job with salary income and a credit score above 640 (680 realistically), a conventional cashout refi is within reach as soon as you reach those metrics.

, I recall posters mentioning & it lowered risk. not a model I do in my day job.. just recall TEXAS investors commenting that LO is either not legal or highly restrictive in Texas.

I'm really busy with my w2 job working all the time to fund my investments.
