Does anyone have experience doing this, and know how to go about it?

The student also got great experience and was able to stay in the deal over the long haul. 

The process has been difficult and stressful and we almost gave up a few times. 

I’m an ex realtor who also has some experience working for a private equity group for a short time before I got a really good gig in a completely unrelated industry that will allow me to have options when investing.

Any lenders you’ve had a great (or not-so-great) experience with?

You'll most likely still need a coborrower at first, but may be able to refi them out of the deal in a year or two once you have qualifying experience and operating history - then you can likely use all of the rental income towards your gross income.

I'd love to connect and always free to answer any questions!
