Many people do not want to work their regular jobs forever so why should they have to go to school forever?

Another possibility is that maybe he was working remotely in another state or country and didn't want someone calling from North Carolina when he's supposed to be somewhere else.

He works in a department that investigates houses in the city that appear to be distributing drugs, sponsoring prostitution, or human trafficking.

Do the numbers work to keep it?

From my experience working with over 400 investors, those who start with house hacking scale much faster.Good luck!

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

DTI < 33%Some inconsistencies that I am discovering in the process- Some lenders requiring a hard-credit pull vs some ok pre-approving me with just a soft pull- Some lenders willing to share a loan estimate sheet with exact costs to close, vs some keep insisting that they "need to run the process to get the loan estimate" and that it can only be done after I get into contract.Just before going into a contract, I would like compare all of the pre-approvals and compare their rates, exact cost to close & potential time to close & then pick the best one to make the offer.Ideal scenario- Pre-approve based on a soft pull (so I don't get my credit score dinged every time I work with a new lender)- Share loan estimate sheet with pre-approval for a potential propertyAm I asking too much from the lenders?

I work with a lot of investors in the Columbus Ohio market so happy to connect and help in any way possible!

Works for many agents but those are all miserable (in my opinion) and I don't do any of them.With you avg prices around $360k (and maybe 2.5% or so your side), you really only need to do about six transactions to hit your target.
