Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Best bet would be to go to your local REIA and ask around. 

I see a huge difference in pricing & days on market just making the jump from 1-bedroom to 2-bedrooms, so I’d do everything I could to hedge those bets.

Thanks in advance.KayAssuming your debt to income ratio is actually being calculated correctly and is still too high then a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) would be your best bet.

I bet it’s such a rewarding process.
