The program is designed to assist low-income families, and these benchmarks might exclude a lot of qualified people.That said, the requirement for stable rental and work history is reasonable, but you might consider relaxing the credit score or income requirements since Section 8 guarantees a portion of the rent.

It is highly specific, my recommendation is to contact the city directly with qualifying questions or have us do it for you :) In general Astoria is also a No-Go with the exception of commercially zoned properties.

Further, he can extend his “grace” period a further 30 days by paying us an additional $50k.So far, we’ve collected two $50,000 payments in the last i0 days plus the $36,000, or $136,000.

We are a small partnership with 4-5 properties currently, but we are growing and hoping to find a reliable lending partner that we can do repeat business with.About 3 months ago, we successfully completed a BRRRR deal where we had excellent numbers, over a 1.25 ratio at 75% LTV, our guarantor partner has an 800+ credit score, and we had no issues qualifying for the loan.

I’m not a first time home buyer but wife would qualify, I want to put down less than 10%. 

I recently came across 1 acre asking for 314k in a very good residential and growing location, so the current owner has added 4 manufactured homes with 4 electrical meters, 4 septic tanks and only 1 water meter for all 4 homes, the homes are sitting on partial slab and partial pier & beam, he also added 2 storage sheds approx. 380sqft with the intention to make them ADUs they are still only the shell so I would have to get those ready to live in, so currently the 4 manufactured homes are being rented and bringing in 2800k a month, 3 of the homes are needing some TLC which could increment rents and possibly get me at 3600k a month, also being a 1ac lot this still leaves about 12,000sqft of raw land where you could build etc.So that is on the good side now the things I did not like so much, the lay out is poorly executed to where it makes it looked crammed up and not professional but it could be fixed.Another is that in reality there is only 4 livable units so that qualifies under a conventional loan but since they're are 6 units on the property the banks are wanting to take it as a commercial so we would have to move out the 2 storage sheds out in order to close as conventional.Another concern, technically you are only allowed to have one manufactured house or single wide in your property according to what I know but I know it could change according to zoning which I will investigate, so my question is has all this been accounted for and if so how can I verify it so it wont leave me in a bind further down the road, I currently asked my agent for the appraisal of the property to see if that might verify.Any recommendations?

@Aaron Raffaelli, I’m sorry to hear that you are having issues qualifying.

The person worked for H&R Block, now works for TurboTax Live and is being honest about their skills: NOT QUALIFIED.

That'll help you figure out what direction to aim in before speaking with a bank to figure out how much you can qualify for. 

If you are worried about it I would find a duplex or triplex/quad that already has one side rented and the other is month to month and use the income from the one rented to help you qualify.
