While the co-signers add some security, the family’s newness to the U.S. and uncertain job situation make them a higher risk overall. 

I should have mentioned that I am out of state in Colorado and I'm not connected yet to contractors that I trust to do a rehab.

(Especially a 2-4 unit.)Do they have friends/relatives/co-workers that would rent rooms from them if they bought a property to show more income?

I would keep the deposit unless I am able to rebook the dates and then I would only make her pay the difference for any unbooked nights. 

So i received a voicemail this AM from a member of their team regarding my posts here on BP.

Where I am in New Jersey, the numbers wouldn't work out at all, but those numbers are good on your sale and rent for the build cost, especially since they should appreciate there in Little Rock steadily.

Well, apart from “if you give me $3000.”Luckily this is a co-living model through PadSplit so I have some income coming in.

I am looking for any recommendations on how to properly scale this idea over the first few years conservatively and not wanting to over use leverage and debt by starting small in duplex and being open to triple/quadplex in the future if the right opportunity presents itself.

For some background info, I am 22 years old, and I graduated college in May 2024 with my bachelor's in construction management.

Moving to CO this year.
