Now as in my new role as a co-founder of a non-bank lender, we are not held to the same restrictions or requirements that traditional lenders/banks are, and we do not sell to Fannie.

I'm going to be much more sympathetic to someone who ran into trouble in the past and doesn't have anything current, as opposed to someone with a lot of recent collection accounts.And you can also ask for a higher deposit and/or a co-signer with good credit.

This takes planning ahead of time.4) if the borrower is a veteran they can use VA financing as VA does not have a 100+ mile rule either to purchase another primary residence for using rental income offset on the vacating home.5) the borrower can also qualify for both homes but on the new purchase they can bring in a co-borrower that will be an occupant in the new home.

Get Al Gore to be a co author and you won't have to worry about math.Now - how did they say you are going to pay for 10 houses at 100k each?

So, with this disclosure – I am a co-founder and CFO of SureDeposit, please note:1) We do indeed look for a 1,000 unit minimum size for client participation, although we make exceptions from time to time;2) Loss limits are an integral part of the program (in reply to DeuceSevenOff).

Make certain you speak with past landlords, including the one who evicted.If your lease provides for a guarantor (as opposed to a co-tenant), you can have them sign the regular lease.
