Speaking of BP as a dating site, I have had a couple of Bay Area guys in my DMs ask to meet up for coffee/lunch to talk real estate.

Love talking shop anytime! 

The good news is that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac recently relaxed underwriting guidelines to allow for it.i recommend checking out Freddie Mac's Home Possible and Fannie Mae's HomeReady program.Outside of that, working with a mortgage broker can also help you shop around for lenders that allow for boarder income.Good luck!

Because now your going to make a list, and 1 by one your going to call every single one of those listing agent's, say you noticed they were listing agent on so-and-so and you'd love to just buy em a coffee if they got just 10 minutes, not an hour, just 5, 10 minutes. 

Shop around.

Make sure to shop your next one to the folks in this thread. 

I have also heard this works better in luxury properties since that type of guest doesn't want to go shopping etc., but the average person would just do it on their own. 

I would shop this out with a broker that could save you some money in the long term depending on how you are planning on keeping the property.

I'm predicting Cleveland will return to what it has historically been: cheap houses for cheap prices filled by cheap renters.That and a $1.74 will get you a cup of gas station coffee.
