I never have to chase anyone for rent, they call in advance if they need me to hold a check before depositing and it is extremely rare for me to have a NSF.

I love chasing instant equity homes, the relentless back and fourth of offers and counters, scouring the interest for the next GREAT DEAL.

Private money lender will give the same terms on either property, so financing is not a player. 

I don't want to discourage anyone, but we aren't particularly close to the inventory being at replacement cost in my opinion which is why you continue to see so many apartment investors chasing the B and C class inventory.I am sure there are deals if you find a distressed lot etc. but the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. 

It sounds like you are chasing an impossible deal.

Good luck getting Chase to hear you out.This is one of the many reasons that it's best for W2 earners to start slowly as investors, not to say that you aren't doing that, but in general, the learning curve is great.

The life of a landlord is far easier training tenants as opposed to chasing them.New tenants get three strikes then they are out (ideally).

You could put it in the market if you wanted to chase returns, but you have to be ready for some swings (kind of how the past week has gone).

Also referred to as non qualified mortgages or "Non-QM", they are a burgeoning industry (has been for the last several years) and lately, since the loans that were originated (and sold) have performed well on the secondary market as mortgage backed securities, more players are entering this arena.We close loans with Finance of America.
