If you can find a house or duplex where rental income covers a significant portion of the mortgage, it could help you build equity while minimizing your living expenses.I'd recommend looking into first-time homebuyer programs in your area, and as always, make sure the numbers work for you.

I am based out of SLC, UT but wanted to see if there are any good HELOC programs anyone would recommend aside from local credit unions? 

So using a CRM program like that really helps automate processes.  

Is anyone participating in their mentoring program?

There are programs, but they will never be as accurate as full and complete MLS data that you can map.

Being a military member I LOVED the idea that the expenses I specifically had to program money were limited to the paint / fixtures inward.  

Hi everyone,I’m eager to start my journey as an Airbnb co-host and am currently learning the ropes through YouTube videos and some purchased programs.

Many programs can be very similar between lenders, but you may find that in certain scenarios a particular options works best. 

I will say though it has been pretty easy to originate loans for self employed borrowers thanks to NonQm programs available for them. 

I don't have any experience with that company specifically, but assuming it is a 'build to rent' type program, I have yet to hear of anyone who has a completely satisfactory experience purchasing through these.Regarding the area that property is in specifically, it's going to be a very rural area, currently with low rental demand and a bit higher crime rates compared to the surrounding area.
