Once it's rented, use that rental income to help offset your DTI, which may help you qualify for the second property sooner.Partner with Investors: Team up with someone to split costs and lower your personal DTI impact.

Personally, I wouldn’t invest in a market where appreciation averages only 2%.

I called and emailed Nomad daily and could not reach a live person, even in an emergency.

I cold call and go direct to the seller and I have a 3 person team that pretty much just calls all day long for me.

The properties in OK, which are roughly 30-40% smaller than my personal residence are only about $400-$600 cheaper than my FL insurance.

I bet you were floored when the person ordered every package you had to offer!!

Nice to see Zillow agreeing with every sales person from Buffalo LOL.Buffalo is a good market to invest long term if you get a good property, on a good street, in good condition.  

Focus on the numbers and the goals, not personal feelings.
