.: Quote from @Don Solt: Hi folks, As the topic states I'm looking to learn everything I can about the City of Philadelphia and its real-estate market.

I am just a guy who tends to give illegal advice, I guess.And finally, folks need to be aware that while many travelers pick the nomadic lifestyle for some of the awesome reasons: travel, excitement, variety, some pick it to try and increase their income to a level where they can earn their way out of terrible financial situations or decision making.

., one thing I really want to stress that most folks mess up is a registered agent. 

This doesn't come cheap--these folks were making high six to seven figures depending on volume.We focused on lending to professional real estate investors--so our customers were frequent repeat borrowers. 

Hey folks,Posting here because I couldn’t find a recent (past two year) answer about using Fannie Mae / FHA 203k etc loans for a house hack in DFW.

I think the folks trying to do Airbnb and short term leasing in Cleveland's many Section 8 neighborhoods are out of their minds.

Are folks smiling? 

Again, treating folks with housing support funds with the same dignity and respect as everyone else, usually nets quality clients that listen and do their best to follow the rules.

The folks on BP are a great resource as is all the training and tools. 

[I think someone else provided an example of this case earlier]-Now provided you do qualify for purchasing a house (4 units or less), you will have no problem qualifying for a mortgage with a Schedule 1 bank as long as you provide the down payment (35% minimum of purchase price) and confirm proof of fund and the source of it- On the proof and source of funds, the banks would want to see an income enough to cover the mortgage payment and other expenses. and in some cases, they would want to make sure they know how you're going to cover your expenses (housing, heating, etc..) where you live.This is usually where it gets annoying for some folks but if you can satisfy this, you should be able to qualify for a mortgage just likely any Canadian tax resident, albeit you will pay a little more in terms of interest rate, etc.
