I used an FHA loan to start my real estate portfolio...I purchased a four-family outside of Boston (a similar market to yours that has seen prices sky rocket).

Hey BP and happy holidays,So I am really excited to buy my first investment property and I am currently trying to get pre-approved for a mortgage, so far I've been only in contact with quicken loans (rocket mortgage), they say I need to have 25% down (multifamily) plus about $10k for closing costs (quote: fees charged by fannie mae that can be another 3-4000). 

BUT the time around the super bowl is no doubt going to sky rocket demand and I have no idea where prices should be? 

Powered by the iPhone, AAPL sales rocketed upwards at a 23% annualized rate and EPS surged by 32% annually for the past decade.

At the time, Hudson (and Greenport, the town next to Hudson), was really starting to take off and prices sky rocketed.

This is not rocket science.

The thought of myself buying and owning investment property seemed so foreign to me that I may as well considered attempting to create a company building rockets to go to space, and again, emotionally those two concepts were not far apart.

If they disqualify for any of those reasons, don't bother showing the house to them.It's OK to tell them you have other interested parties but don't tell them you have a rocket scientist that makes 10x the income with a credit score of 810 that wants to pay five years rent in advance!

This type of work is not rocket science, and you won't need a fancy company to do it. 

How about online lenders like Rocket, Quicken, etc.?
