With the right resources and help, you can still make it happen.There are options that can help make buying a home possible today — even if your savings are limited or your credit isn’t perfect.

With the tech I am using (a lesser known PMS) I am able to automatically screen guests, get their selfies, write leases, and collect deposits in my work flow even for Airbnb guests.

As soon as you get the leases signed and proof of security deposit and first months rent deposited into your account your can use it.The question should be, do I even need to get the units leased out to qualify ?

$300-$400k will likely not get you even a 2-family in the best area of New Haven unless it needs a lot of work, but will get you a property in a top flight area of Hartford.

If things to sideways, the money raiser usually has no leverage or even any authority to fix the problem.

Quote from @Carson Hyland: Even if you buy the right property, failing to manage it well will kill your cash flow. 

Even though those debts are temporary.

Lots of times you will have people complaining about noise even if you disclose it on the listing. 

You will learn a lot, but you just may walk away with new friends, new partners, and maybe even someone who can call a mentor.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
