@Cole Durbano - It doesn't hurt to go ahead and contact a lender, have them explain the process and qualification requirements, and run an estimate or series of estimates for you so that you will know what to expect in terms of cost for homes at different price points.

I'd encourage you to review what sort of qualification requirements you want to require.

I assume those would be depreciated and would not count as an expense against income for loan qualification purposes?

While you shouldn't change qualifications this may be the time to test your pet friendliness if you are willing by accepting pets on a case by case basis.

Does your agent have the qualifications you deserve?

For example, if your partner is already a successful real estate investor, then maybe they will bring due diligence experience, mentorship for you, qualifications for a loan, relationships with realtors, contractors, lenders, title companies, insurance agents, etc.Then your value, for example, will be to search for the right property, manage the rehab, screen, quality, and lease to tenants, and property management.And you each bring whatever monetary capital you have for the deal.
