However, with the 70% rule that would put me at a $42,150 which includes the estimated $10,000 fix up cost.  

Will they engage with me at this stage in the pre-purchasing process?

I had a mentor to help me at times before I felt comfortable- If you lack this I would suggest contacting a realtor and giving them your business if they can get a higher rent.

Hit a snag in my investment goals :Scenario ;I have 85k Saved to invest I made 6 figures in 2018 Have 60k in equity in my existing rental property in Nassau county New York Good Credit BUT ....I lost my job last month and I’m concerned lenders will give me a hard time for not being employed, although I do have a small business that is brining me at least $3000 a month in profit.

I also neglected to mention I had question him on wanting me to go door to door to ask if anyone knew someone who wanted to buy a house and he screamed at me at the top of his lungs for 10 minutes.Look, someone who tells you "if you don't follow through on what you say you're going to do, you better be unconscious or dead" then drops the ball on something as big as getting contracts sent when they say they will and before it's too late (as he did), then refuses to take responsibility (he refused to discuss it when I questioned him "let's just move forward, what other questions do you have" was his response), that's a poser.

Find me at the local Dallas REIA events or contact me here on BiggerPockets if you are interested.
