Since I am not local, I have been working on a co wholesale basis with a couple of other active wholesalers, essentially bringing my buyers to their deals.

The way we have always handled a situation that requires a co-signer is to vet them as if they will be living there with the tenant. 

A co-worker at Domino’s saw that I was reading Gary Keller’s book The Millionaire Real Estate Investor,and asked if I’d like to attend his mixer for professionals, emphasizing that it would be a great way to build my business.

@Mitchell BehmOne way of getting around the Debt-income ratio is to have a co-guarantor for the loan. 

If granddaughter is beneficiary and it's set up to pay her school/living expenses I'd be ok with it but I'd still have a co signer.

Hello,I have a co worker come into a investment property option (older family member wants to sell to get cash to pay for senior living facility) and wants to know how the market is in the area.

Our plan was that it would be a primary residence for her with me as a co-signer and I would make the down payment and all upfront costs.

*Shameless plug: Our recently sold a co-op and helped our client use the proceeds to purchase her first investment property. 

You could also consider getting a co-signer or partnering with someone who has more money but less time to manage it themselves.

Hello Bigger Pockets I am in need of a co-agent to help me on a short sale deal in Providence Rhode Island.
